Fully-Opened Unilateral Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Its Applications

doi:10.11938/cjmr20160213

Abstract

Abstract:

Fully-opened unilateral nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) systems are portable and low in cost, and thus a useful tool for in situ, real-time and nondestructive testing. The paper reviews the development of unconventional NMR, especially fully-opened unilateral NMR. The hardware structure of NMR-MOUSE developed by Professor Bernhard Blümich in RWTH Aachen University was discussed in detail, as well as the measurement methods. The applications of unilateral NMR were also introduced.

Key words: unilateral NMR, real-time nondestructive testing, stray field, NMR-MOUSE
