title: A "magic sandwich" pulse sequence with reduced offset dependence for high-resolution separated local field spectroscopy.
abstract: A pulse sequence for high resolution separated local field spectroscopy based on "magic sandwich" elements is demonstrated on a single crystal sample. Simulations and experimental results show that this pulse sequence has a reduced frequency offset dependence compared to PISEMA (polarization inversion spin exchange at the magic angle). As a result, it has a larger effective range of homonuclear decoupling, reduced zero-frequency spectral distortions, and more reliable scale factors for individual resonances. In addition, it is easier to setup on commercial spectrometers.
