Field-cycling-NMR: A new magnet design for reduced energy consumption — •Dirk Plendl, Alexei F. Privalov, and Franz Fujara — Institut für Festkörperphysik, TU Darmstadt, Hochschulstraße 6, 64289 Darmstadt

Field-cycling-NMR is an establiched method for the investigation of field dependent spin phenomena, like relaxation dispersion, polarization transfer, enhanced NQR etc. In contrast to normal NMR, the magnetic field in a field-cycling experiment is switched between several distinct levels within milliseconds. This can only be achieved with specially designed, low inductive magnets.

Today, nearly all FC-spectrometers utilize air core coils made of copper or silver. Producing strong magnetic fields with normal-conducting magnets results in a large energy dissipation (tens of kW) so that the maximum field strength is limited by the amount of heat that can be extracted by the cooling system.

We present a new magnet design for fast field-cycling-NMR which uses a magnet with an iron core for field amplification, thus generating the same field with significantly reduced energy consumption and system complexity [1].
