Tracer diffusion measurements in solid lithium: a test case for the comparison between NMR in static and pulsed magnetic field gradients after upgrading a standard solid state NMR spectrometer.
This paper reports on the upgrading of a standard solid state NMR spectrometer, which has been used in combination with a field variable 7 T cryomagnet, to a low-cost combined SFG and PFG NMR spectrometer. Both methods are applied to solid lithium as a simple test case. The results show that under the given conditions SFG NMR and PFG NMR can provide tracer diffusion coefficients for 7 Li diffusion down to about 10(-14) and 10(-13) m2/s, respectively. SFG and PFG NMR are complementary methods. The paper demonstrates advantages and disadvantages of each method with a concrete example and why it is desirable to be able to apply both methods to the same sample.
