Study Notes
- The magnetization vector in NMR precesses about the applied magnetic field, rotating in the zy-plane with frequency ω1.
- During an RF pulse of duration tp, the magnetization vector is rotated by an angle β = ω1 tp, also called the flip angle.
- Commonly used flip angles are π/2 (90°) and π (180°).
- A "grapefruit" diagram illustrates the magnetization vector's motion during on-resonance 90° and 180° pulses.
- Hard pulses, where the RF field is much larger than the reduced field, effectively place all resonances on-resonance.
- The signal detected in NMR experiments is in the rotating frame, where it appears to oscillate at the offset frequency Ω instead of the Larmor frequency.
- The simplest NMR experiment, known as pulse-acquire, consists of three periods: equilibrium, RF pulse application, and signal detection.
- During the equilibrium period, magnetization builds up along the z-axis.
- A 90° pulse rotates this equilibrium magnetization onto the -y axis.
- During the signal detection period, the magnetization precesses in the transverse plane at the offset frequency Ω.
- Simple geometry helps deduce how the x- and y-magnetizations vary with time.
