Abstract

A method for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of a sample involves excitation of long lived coherences (LLC) between the singlet state Sand the central triplet state Tof nuclei of the sample by initiating irradiation of the sample with an rf-field with carrier frequency ω; sustaining of the LLC by maintaining the rf-irradiation during an interval τ; converting the LLC temporarily into observable magnetization by interrupting the rf-irradiation during an observation interval τ; detecting NMR-signals during the observation interval τand reconversion of the observable magnetization back into LLC after the observation interval τ. These steps are repeated n times, wherein n is a positive integer. The method allows ultra high-resolution spectra of long-lived coherences to be obtained.
