  • Title: An effective stochastic excitation strategy for finding elusive NMR signals from solids.
    Author: Wilcke SL, Cairns EJ, Reimer JA.
    Journal: Solid State Nucl Magn Reson; 2006 Feb; 29(1-3):199-203. PubMed ID: 16183263.
    Abstract:
    The versatility of using a stochastic pulse sequence to elucidate peaks with a wide range of shifts, peak widths, and T(1) relaxation times is demonstrated. A stochastic sequence is combined with high speed magic angle spinning (MAS) to obtain the broad and largely shifted peak associated with (31)P in LiNiPO(4). A stochastic sequence is also used to obtain a spectrum of 85% H(3)PO(4), which has a much longer T(1) value. The signal-to-noise was comparable for spectra of 85% H(3)PO(4) obtained with either a stochastic sequence or an optimized Ernst angle experiment. Experimental parameters for the stochastic experiment are set depending only on the ringdown of the probe and not on any inherent qualities of the sample. A stochastic sequence, therefore, combined with MAS provides a useful strategy for finding peaks with unknown T(1) relaxation constants, peak widths, and shifts.
