  • Measurement of cross-relaxation rates between selected pairs of nuclei
    Patent number: 5285156
    Abstract: A method for measuring cross-relation rates in high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in which in a homogeneous static magnetic field B.sub.0 in a direction of a z-axis which causes alignment of longitudinal components I.sub.Z.sup.A, I.sub.Z.sup.X of magnetization vectors I.sup.A, I.sup.X of nuclei A, X during a time interval .tau..sub.m a sample substance, preferably dissolved in liquid, with nuclei A and X having different chemical shifts .OMEGA..sub.A and .OMEGA..sub.X is irradiated with a radio-frequency (rf) field and afterwards by action of a suitable rf-pulse sequence the longitudinal magnetization is transferred into a transverse magnetization creating a rf-signal received by a detector, is characterized in that the rf field is composed by at least two weak, selective component fields, the frequencies of these fields being chosen such that the magnetization vectors I.sup.A and I.sup.
