  • Title: RF inhomogeneity and how it controls CPMAS.
    Author: Gupta R, Hou G, Polenova T, Vega AJ.
    Journal: Solid State Nucl Magn Reson; 2015 Nov; 72():17-26. PubMed ID: 26422256.
    Abstract:
    In this report we discuss the effect of radiofrequency field (RF) inhomogeneity on cross-polarization (CP) under magic-angle spinning (MAS) by reviewing the dependence of the CP-detected signal intensity as a function of the position in the sample space. We introduce a power-function model to quantify the position-dependent RF-amplitude profile. The applicability of this model is experimentally verified by nutation spectra obtained by direct signal detection, as well as by CPMAS signal detection, in two commercial MAS probes with different degrees of RF inhomogeneity. A conclusion is that substantial sections of a totally filled rotor, even in a probe with rather good homogeneity, do not contribute at all to the detected spectra. The consequence is that in CPMAS-based recoupling experiments, such as the CP-with-variable-contact-time (CPVC), spatial selectivity of the Hartmann-Hahn matching condition overcomes complications that could be caused by RF inhomogeneity permitting determination of accurate spectral parameters even in cases with high inhomogeneity.
