However, field inhomogeneity remains challenge due to discrete magnet rings and manufacturing deviations of the magnetic elements. This paper aims to address this limitation through an effective passive shimming approach, which is considered the first step toward constructing high-homogeneity magnets because of its non-powered and inherently stable characteristics. We focus on the transverse dipole field generated by Halbach magnets and develop an easily implementable linear programming-genetic algorithm (LP-GA) hybrid optimization approach for passive shimming. Our methodology first employs an equivalent magnetic dipole model to calculate the sensitivity matrix of the shim pieces in the Region of Interest (ROI). Then, the LP-GA hybrid optimization algorithm determines the optimal position, number, and thickness of the shim pieces. By combining shim pieces of three different thicknesses (1 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2 mm), we significantly reduce the field inhomogeneity of a 48 mT Halbach magnet system. The effectiveness of our approach is validated through NMR measurements using water samples with copper sulfate at different concentrations, demonstrating an improvement in field homogeneity from approximately 1229 ppm to 320 ppm. The experimental results confirm that the proposed approach effectively enhances magnetic field homogeneity of low-field Halbach magnet systems and could be applied to shimming various Halbach-like magnet arrays.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16267,"journal":{"name":"Journal of magnetic resonance","volume":"376 ","pages":"Article 107887"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144069153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These nuclei also undergo rapid longitudinal and transverse NMR relaxation via the quadrupolar mechanism, severely limiting the effectiveness of NMR-based diffusion measurements.

The NMR-based diffusion coefficients measured at 17.6 T for these ions in the absence of biomolecules agreed well with conductivity-based values in the literature. This consistency supports that ion diffusion along the magnetic field is unaffected by the Lorentz force acting on the ions, as previously predicted. Our data on ion diffusion in solutions of proteins and DNA illuminate the effect of electrostatic interactions on the apparent diffusion coefficients of ions. Thus, high-field NMR probe hardware that can generate strong field gradients opens a new avenue to characterize the dynamic behavior of various ions around biomolecules and their effect on biomolecular electrostatics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16267,"journal":{"name":"Journal of magnetic resonance","volume":"376 ","pages":"Article 107890"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143916807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using broadband sech/tanh or short 10 ns rectangular pump pulses modulation depth suppression effects arising from non-ideal coverage of the dipolar-split signals can be avoided for molecules with intra-molecular spin distances larger than 2 nm. The transverse relaxation times for our model compounds with one to six spins did not depend on the spin number and were all the same. Nevertheless, the signal intensity of the primary Hahn echo signal in a 4-pulse PELDOR sequence decreased strongly with the number of coupled spins. This is due to the dipolar defocusing if more than one spin is excited by the first two pulses at the detection frequency, resulting in a loss of refocused echo intensity of the PELDOR experiments. This effect further reduces the accuracy of using the PELDOR modulation depth for spin counting.

In this study, two frequency-selective adaptations of SIP-R are introduced, incorporating either one or two frequency-selective pulses in the SIP-R dual-scan experiment to excite only specific spectral regions. In a test using a non-viscous, small-molecule solution of ethanol in D₂O, both single- and double-selective SIP-R sequences reproduced reasonably well the relaxation times obtained with the non-selective SIP-R method.
