Recently a new method for the spatially resolved characterization of heavy ion irradiated crystals using static field gradient NMR was developed [1]. With this method it is possible to measure one-dimensional spin-lattice relaxation rate profiles with a spatial resolution in the order of 10 µm. In the meantime the spectrometer has been further improved and the method expanded to conduct frequency and temperature dependent measurements. For field cycling NMR the probe is moved inside the stray field of a superconducting magnet. Due to the strong magnetic field gradient only the nuclei within a thin excited slice are in resonance, allowing spatial resolution. It is possible to utilize fields between 6.3 and 0.008 T. The positioning system is capable of achieving switching times of less than 5 s. The accessible sample temperature ranges from RT to 500 K. The relaxometer will be used for spatially resolved spin-lattice relaxation dispersion experiments of swift heavy ion irradiated ionic crystals.
