So, the equipment first.
An AMX 300 two-channel system with an 89 mm magnet and SGI workstation,
with spectroscopy, micro-imaging and diffusion probes.
An MSL90/200 equipped with an SWB supercon magnet and an electromagnet for
measurements between 0.2-2.1 T, with the same probe repertoire as above.
Several older JEOLs (including a rather active FX-100) for diffusion
measurements.
Additionally, we have partial access to a DMX 500 with a narrowbore magnet
and a few conventional 5 mm high-res probes.
Part of my time is devoted nowadays to lenghten this list. Namely, we are
at the start of building a specialized little spectrometer for measuring
rather fast (that means unconvenient for field-cycling spectrometers)
relaxation down to 500 kHz. In lyotropic liquid crystal and micellar
systems, where we use spin relaxation to study the structure and the
dynamics of the various aggregates, a few more relaxation rates down from 2
MHz (our current limit) might prove useful (and anyway it is cheaper to go
to lower frequencies than into the other direction). My other research
interests are cross-relaxation measurements in micellar systems and
anisotropic diffusion studies in lyotropic liquid crystals.
And finally an inquiry. I would be interested to buy second-hand older 200
or 300 MHz dual 13C-proton or hetero-proton probes for 89 mm and SWB
magnets. Please, contact me if such disturbing items are littering the
floor in your lab.
