Abstract A new highly sensitive 1H -14N nuclear quadrupole double resonance technique is presented which is based on magnetic field cycling and on the application of multiple frequency sweeps of an r.f. magnetic field. The sensitivity and the resolution o f the new technique are estimated. Some experimental results obtained by the new technique are presented.

Abstract A new nuclear-quadrupole double-resonance technique is described. It has a higher sensitivity and a higher resolution than the conventional nuclear-quadrupole double-resonance technique based on solid effect. The new technique involves magnetic field cycling between a high and a low static magnetic field and simultaneous application of two rf magnetic fields when the sample is in the low static magnetic field. A strong rf magnetic field induces "forbidden" simultaneous transitions in a magnetic (usually 1H) and in a quadrupole spin system and thus couples the two spin systems. A weak rf magnetic field induces transitions between the energy levels of the quadrupole nuclei and simulates a fast spin-lattice relaxation of the quadrupole nuclei when its frequency matches an NQR frequency. The sensitivity and resolution of the new technique are discussed and test measurements in tris-sarcosine calcium chloride are presented.

Abstract This paper discusses the design of a variable-temperature high-sensitivity field cycling spectrometer for nuclear magnetic resonance and nuclear quadrupole double resonance experiments. The instrument is capable of detecting N-14 quadrupole resonance signals from samples as small as 0.1 g down to temperatures of 150 K. The magnetic field cycling is performed by mechanical transfer of the sample using a pair of switchable electromagnetic solenoids, in times of about 0.2 s.

Abstract 17O nuclear quadrupole resonance spectra have been measured in an 17O enriched polycristalline sample of DL-proline with the help of 1H - 17O nuclear quadrupole double resonance technique. The results show the presence of eight chemically inequivalent oxygen sites corresponding to four inequivalent proline molecules in the unit cell. The oxygen sites may be grouped into two sets of four sites. One set with the short proton-oxygen distances belongs to the C - O • • • H groups whereas the other with the long proton-oxygen distances to the C = O groups

Recirculation is an important factor in single needle dialysis and, if high, can compromise treatment efficiency. To provide information regarding recirculation characteristics of access devices used in single needle dialysis, we have developed a new technique to characterise recirculation and have used this to measure the recirculation of a Terumo 15G fistula needle and a VasCath SC2300 single lumen catheter. The experimentally obtained results agreed well with those established clinically (8.5 ± 2.4% and 18.4 ± 3.4%). The experimental results have also demonstrated a dependence on access type, pump speeds and fistula flow rate. A comparison of experimental data with theoretical predictions showed that the latter exceeded those measured with the largest contribution being due to the experimental fistula.
