Abstract
Interest in nuclear magnetic resonance measurements at ultra-low magnetic fields (ULF, ∼μT fields) has been motivated by various benefits and novel applications including narrow NMR peak-width, negligible susceptibility artifacts, imaging of samples inside metal containers, and possibility of directly imaging neuronal currents. ULF NMR/MRI is also compatible with simultaneous measurements of biomagnetic signals. However the most widely used technique in ULF NMR—prepolarization at high field and measurement at lower field—results in large transient signals which distort the free induction decay signal. This is especially severe for the measurement of signals from samples and materials with short T 1 time. We have devised an approach that largely cancels the transient signals. The technique was successfully used to measure NMR signals from liquids and gases with T 1 in the range 1–4 ms.
