Abstract

14N NMR of magnetically oriented microcrystals is reported. With a home-built 1H-13C-14N probe capable of modulating the rotation of the sample around the axis normal to the magnetic field, magnetically oriented microcrystal suspension (MOMS) of l-alanine is made. 14N NMR spectra acquired with various timings during intermittent rotation lead to a rotation pattern of the MOMS similar to that of a single crystal. The effect of orientational distribution of the microcrystals to broadening of the resonance line is discussed.
