Description
Summary:A mobile nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) device similar to a bore-hole probe has been developed for applications in materials science and biomedicine. Inhomogeneous polarizing and radio-frequency (rf) magnetic fields are applied to arbitrarily large samples from one side. Different experimental techniques have been tested to measure transverse and longitudinal relaxation times and translational diffusion constants. Good contrast for discrimination of material properties is gained when the residual dipolar coupling is retained in soft matter by avoiding spinlock effects in multi-pulse techniques. Applications to characterization of products from technical elastomers, skin, and coatings on iron sheets are reported.
