RESUMEN

Magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy are versatile methods for probing brain physiology, but their intrinsically low sensitivity limits the achievable spatial and temporal resolution. Here, we introduce a monolithically integrated NMR-on-a-chip needle that combines an ultra-sensitive 300 µm NMR coil with a complete NMR transceiver, enabling in vivo measurements of blood oxygenation and flow in nanoliter volumes at a sampling rate of 200 Hz.

RESUMEN

Significant sensitivity improvements have been achieved by utilizing high temperature superconducting (HTS) resonators in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probes. Many nuclei such as 13C benefit from strong excitation fields which cannot be produced by traditional HTS resonator designs. We investigate the use of double-sided, counter-wound multi-arm spiral HTS resonators with the aim of increasing the excitation field at the required nuclear Larmor frequency for 13C. When compared to double-sided, counter-wound spiral resonators with similar geometry, simulations indicate that the multi-arm spiral version develops a more uniform current distribution. Preliminary tests of a two-arm resonator indicate that it may produce a stronger excitation field.

RESUMEN

Replacing normal metal NMR coils with thin-film high-temperature superconductor (HTS) resonators can significantly improve the sensitivity of analytical NMR. To study the use of these resonators for excitation as well as detection, we investigated the radio frequency properties of the HTS NMR coils in both frequency and time domain at a variety of transmit power levels. Experiments were conducted on a double-sided, counter wound spiral resonator designed to detect NMR signals from 13C nuclei at 14.1 T. Power-dependent nonlinearity was observed in the transmission coefficient and quality factor. The ability of the HTS resonators to accurately generate short pulses was studied in the time domain over the range power levels. The results of this study show that some form of Q switching is needed to get good transmit performance from HTS coils for 13C. For that purpose, the effect of adding a shorted transmission line stub to improve the pulse shapes and reduce phase transients was studied.

RESUMEN

Long-range (1)H-(15)N heteronuclear shift correlation experiments at natural abundance are becoming more routinely utilized in the characterization of unknown chemical structures from a diverse range of sources including natural products and pharmaceuticals. Apart from the inherent challenges of the low gyromagnetic ratio and natural abundance of (15)N, investigators are also occasionally hampered by having to deal with the wide spectral range inherent to various nitrogen functional groups, which can exceed 500 ppm. Earlier triple resonance cryoprobe designs typically provided 90° (15)N pulses in the range of 35-40 µs, which did not allow the uniform excitation of wide F(1) spectral ranges for (1)H-(15)N GHMBC spectra. We report the results obtained with a newly designed Bruker 600 MHz triple resonance TCI Micro CryoProbe™ using methyl orange as a model compound, in which the (15)N resonances are separated by >450 ppm.

RESUMEN

In applications as diverse as fibre-optic communications and time-domain or terahertz spectroscopy, researchers are keen on ultrafast optoelectronic transducers that can be tailored to specific needs. The molecular beam epitaxy of photoconductors composed of equidistant layers of self-assembled ErAs-islands in a III-V semiconductor matrix, which act as efficient non-radiative carrier capture sites, enables this flexibility. Here, photocurrent autocorrelation techniques are applied to metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors patterned on ErAs:GaAs superlattices. The experiments demonstrate that the electrical response speed can be conveniently tuned over at least two orders of magnitude starting from 190 fs by increasing the thickness of the GaAs spacer separating adjacent ErAs layers. The same concept is applied to the narrower bandgap InGaAs matrix. We demonstrate an electron lifetime of approximately 1 ps for this material. This brings closer the prospect of implementing terahertz technology at the important optical communication wavelengths of 1.3 and 1.55 microm.
