Acoustic saturation of nuclear magnetic resonance lines

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

Study has been made of the effect of acoustic power applied at twice the Larmor frequency on the individual nuclear magnetic resonance lines in the presence of radio-frequency power. When\(W''_{u2} (W_{u\tfrac{1}{2} \to - \tfrac{3}{2}} )\) is finite and other ultrasonic transition probabilities are zero, one obtains the same acoustic saturation behaviour for the central resonance line for the quadrupolar and the magnetic relaxations. For an arbitrary spinI, this expression has been generalized. However, the central resonance line remains unaffected when ultrasonic transition probabilities other than\(W''_{u2} \) are finite separately. The effect of the acoustic power on the satellites for different cases is studied in great detail. Some of the satellites are affected and a few are unaffected. Some of the affected satellites show interesting behaviour in the sense that, instead of the regular saturation behaviour, enhancement effect and negative ratios of the population difference to its equilibrium value are obtained for higher values ofU which is a measure of acoustic power.

Riassunto

Si è studiato l’effetto del potere acustico applicato al doppio delia frequenza di Larmor sulle singole linee di risonanza magnetica nucleare in presenza di una potenza a radiofrequenza. Quando\(W''_{u2} (W_{u\tfrac{1}{2} \to - \tfrac{3}{2}} )\) è finito e le altre probabilità di transizione ultrasonora sono nulle, si ottiene lo stesso oomportamento di saturazione acustica delia linea di risonanza centrale per i rilassamenti quadrupolare e magnetico. Per spin I arbitrario, si è generalizzata questa espressione. PerÒ la linea di risonanza centrale non è influenzata quando le altre probabilità di transizione ultrasonora, oltre la\(W''_{u2} \), sono separatamente finite. Si studia molto dettagliatamente l’efletto del potere acustico sui satelliti in diversi casi. Alcuni dei satslliti sona influenzati e pocni altri no. Alcuni dei satelliti influenzati pressntano un comportamsnto interessante nel senso che, invece del normale eomportamento di saturazione, si ottiene un effetto di aooresoimento e rapporti nsgativi fra la different di popolaziona ed il suo valore di equilibrio per maggiori valori diU, che è la misura del potere acustico.
