Simple NMR‐mouse with a bar magnet

Abstract

Abstract A new concept of the NMR Mobile Universal Surface Explorer (NMR‐MOUSE) using simple bar magnets instead of u‐shaped magnets is described. The magnetic field profiles are comparatively homogeneous in extended lateral planes, and close to the magnet pole face the axial gradient is nearly constant. Different geometric arrangements of figure‐8 coils adapted to the sample geometry are described. Simulations and measurements of the magnetic field from the magnets and the radio frequency coils are discussed. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
