Weak NMR signal? Uncover 90 ° pulse width calibration skills!
The pulse width is the length of time that the sample is irradiated by the radio frequency energy (RF) in the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum (NMR). It is a key factor in the NMR acquisition parameters, because the RF energy will cause the longitudinal magnetization to point in different directions. In practical applications, RF energy can rotate, tilt or flip the longitudinal magnetization. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the pulse width in degrees, also known as the parameter of turning/tilting angle. For NMR experts, it is very important to select an appropriate nuclear magnetic pulse width to achieve a proton flip angle of 90 °. Because the 90 ° flip angle can produce the largest measurable signal, this is very important for obtaining high-quality NMR spectra. In short, one of the important tasks of NMR is to select the radiation that produces the largest signal
