Abstract
Abstract The effects of off-resonance irradiation in nutation NQR experiments are demonstrated both experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical description of the off-resonance effects in 2D nutation NQR spectroscopy is given, and general exact formulas for the asymmetry parameter are obtained. It is shown that the outcome of the off-resonance nutation experiments depends on the data acquisition procedure, leading to one- or three-line nutation spectra. To explain this fact and to describe the off-resonance nutation experiment properly, the transient response theory of a quadrupolar spin system to an RF pulse was modified using the wave-function approach. The 2D separation of interactions technique has been applied to separate a static and a randomly time-fluctuating dynamic part of the quadrupole interaction in the antiferroelectric phase of poly-crystalline ammonium dihydrogen arsenate. Two-dimensional off-resonance nutation NQR spectroscopy has been used to determine the full quadrupolar tensor of spin-3/2 nuclei in several molecular crystals containing the 35Cl and 75As nuclei. The off-resonance phenomena in 2D NQR are very important from the practical point of view (determination of ƞ in multiple or broad-line spectrum) and also provide interesting information on the dynamic properties of a quadrupolar spin system.
