Abstract

Numerous NMR techniques are available for the study of nuclei with spin I ≥ 1. These nuclei interact with their surrounding electric field gradient, which depends on the symmetry of the crystallographic site. Spurious (or piezoelectric) signals, due to the piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of a LiNbO 3 crystal and generated by the vibration of the macroscopic electric dipole of the crystal, have been observed with the one-pulse sequence and cancelled using a composite-pulse sequence. The suppression of these piezoelectric signals by this sequence is illustrated by lithium-7 ( I = 3/2) nuclei. Java applets available in our web site www.pascal-man.com for the determination of quadrupole parameters from one-dimensional nutation method are also presented. To cite this article: C. Mignon et al., C. R. Chimie 7 (2004).
