  • Probe for magnetic resonance spectrometric measures at very high temperatures
    Patent number: 4958126
    Abstract: A probe for spectrometric measurements of magnetic resonance at very high temperatures includes a resonator (3) within which is disposed a sample (9) to be analyzed. A laser beam from a laser (6) is conducted toward and focused upon the sample (9) for heating the same, and levitation of the sample (9) during measurement proceedings within the resonator (3), as a means of thermally isolating the sample (9) from its surroundings, is achieved by means of a levitation gas from a gas source (18) which is introduced into the resonator (3) by means of a constriction zone aperture (17) whereby the sample (9) is maintained within an upper cavity (16) of the resonator (3).
