A new method of spatial localization in solids using the high off-resonance sensitivity of heteronuclear polarization transfer is presented in theory and experiment. Application in imaging and volume-selective spectroscopy are discussed and test experiments to this end are reported.

Slice-selective polarization transfer for localized solid-state NMR

An NMR imaging method for the investigation of, in particular, solid-like substances which are exposed to a sequence of RF pulses in a homogeneous magnetic field, said sequence including an excitation pulse sequence and an additional pulse sequence, whereby, in one case, in at least one time interval between the end of the excitation pulse sequence and the beginning of the additional pulse sequence and/or in the time interval between the end of the additional pulse sequence and the appearance of an echo signal, the homogeneous magnetic field is at least temporarily overlapped with at least one gradient field and, in another case, at least one part of the sequence of RF pulses is overlapped with at least one RF gradient field, is characterized in that the additional pulse sequence includes a magic sandwich.
