Abstract

A discussion is given of the effects of a pair of pulses of rf magnetic field (at the NMR frequency) on the Zeeman and dipolar energies of the spin system in a solid. Zeeman order is partly transformed into dipolar order when the two pulses have different rf phases. A theoretical calculation provides a very simple relation between the efficiency of this transfer of energy (as a function of the characteristics of the pulses and their time separation) and the magnitude and shape of the dipolar component of the free-precession signal. This prediction has been verified quantitatively in the case of the F19 spins in a CaF2 crystal with the large magnetic field in a [100] direction. A maximum efficiency of transfer of Zeeman energy into dipolar energy of 56% has been obtained with a π2 phase shift between a first π2 pulse and a second π4 pulse, separated by a time of the order of T2. (An ideal adiabatic demagnetization in the rotating frame would have an efficiency of 100%.) The experimental results also indicate that the F19 spin system reaches internal quasiequilibrium in a time of the order of a few T2 after the pulse pair. It is also shown that the use of a pair of rf pulses (both of the same rf phase this time) leads to a new method for measuring the complete shape of free-precession signals, which avoids the usual difficulties due to the finite recovery time of the observation circuit.
