Title: Method and sample spinning apparatus for measuring the NMR spectrum of an orientationally disordered sample

Patent ·
OSTI ID:867591

An improved NMR apparatus and method are described which substantially improve the resolution of NMR measurements made on powdered or amorphous or otherwise orientationally disordered samples. The apparatus spins the sample about an axis. The angle of the axis is mechanically varied such that the time average of two or more Legendre polynomials are zero.
