  • Patent number: 7126335
    Abstract: A nuclear magnetic resonance measuring apparatus includes an NMR probe head equipped with an NMR receiver coil and an irradiation coil, a preamplifier, for amplifying the NMR signal received by the NMR receiver coil, a coil cooling heat exchanger, for exchanging heat between the NMR receiver coil/irradiation coil and coolant, a preamplifier heat exchanger for exchanging heat between the preamplifier and the coolant, and a cooling device capable of cooling and compressing the coolant. Further, a first transfer tube is provided for transferring the coolant from the cooling device to the probe head, a second transfer tube for transferring the coolant from the probe head to the cooling device, a third transfer tube for transferring the coolant from the cooling device to the probe head, and a fourth transfer tube for transferring the coolant from the probe head to the cooling device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7030613
    Abstract: A double-tubular third transfer tube is provided in the transfer tube storage conduit, and a first transfer tube, second transfer tube and fourth transfer tube are installed in its interior. Further, pressure control valves are arranged in the portion of normal temperature, thereby reducing the amount of heat intrusion and the coolant temperature. This arrangement cryogenically cools down the irradiation coil and reception coil, without damaging the compressor, and ensures a low-temperature probe to be manufactured.

  • Patent number: 6958608
    Abstract: The invention provides nuclear magnetic resonance equipment realizing improved sensitivity of a probe for receiving a free induction decay (FID) signal in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in a high frequency band of 600 MHz or higher. By manufacturing a solenoid coil of a higher filling factor by using a superconductor of extremely low resistance to high frequency current, sensitivity is increased. A superconducting thin film made of magnesium diboride (MgB2) formed on a donut plate-type substrate is disposed so that the film surface becomes parallel with the uniform magnetic field. The object is realized by a probe made by a solenoid coil formed by connecting a plurality of coil parts by capacitive coupling via a normal metal lead.
