Abstract: Neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) permanent magnets always used to generate a static magnetic field in low field NMR spectrometers has poor temperature stability. Temperature fluctuations will affect the reliability of NMR experiments. In order to improve the stability of low-field magnetic resonance spectrometer, a precise temperature control scheme of permanent magnet based on dual-loop control algorithm was proposed and verified on 0.06 T NMR spectrometer. The results show that the 24 h temperature control accuracy is better than ±0.005℃. And the drift in 1H resonance frequency decreases from 255 Hz to 15 Hz within 0.5 h, and from 4 950 Hz to 145 Hz within 24 h, compared to that without temperature control. That improves the stability of low-field NMR spectrometer with permanent magnet effectively.
