Abstract

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements in grossly inhomogeneous static magnetic fields are possible if the inhomogeneity is inferior to a theoretical limit. A design is proposed for a single-sided inside-out NMR probe with static and radiofrequency (RF) magnetic fields perpendicular and correlated on a large volume. This probe was constructed with ferrite material. It can found application as a portable scanner for local NMR spectrometry.
