The properties of ammonium perchlorate were investigated in the temperature range between 1.3 and 50 K by nuclear magnetic resonance and relaxation experiments. The observed increase in the proton second moment from its high temperature value of ~ 1.18 G2 to the value of 4.30 G2 below 4.2 K was associated with a characteristic activation energy of ~ 4 × 10−21 J molecule−1 (~ 0.6 kcal mole−1). No evidence could be found for nuclear spin conversion between the symmetry species of the ammonium ion from measurements of the static proton magnetic susceptibility above 1.3 K. An asymptotic analysis of the low temperature proton lineshapes identified the broad wings of the lines with ammonium ions of T type symmetry. Measurements of the proton relaxation times T1 and T1ρ agreed with previous work by others on NH4ClO4, and were similar to observations on other ammonium compounds having low reorientational barriers.

Nuclear magnetic resonance was used to measure spin-lattice water proton relaxation times (T1) during the first cell cycle in sea-urchin zygotes of packed Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. Following insemination there was a 90% increase in the T1 value. The increase in T1 at fertilization could be accounted for by the accumulation of extracellular fluid between the egg surface and the fertilization envelope. The T1 value then remained without change during the first cell cycle, except at metaphase when there was a significant 13% decrease. The lowered T1 values measured at metaphase were not related to a change in the water content of the packed cells, which remained fairly constant throughout the cell cycle. High hydrostatic pressure, low temperature and colchicine (agents that depolymerize mitotic apparatus microtubules) did not affect the T1 values in fertilized eggs. Treatment in vitro of a microtubule protein preparation with low temperature and colchicine resulted in an increased T1, which accompanied the depolymerization of microtubule protein. Since depolymerization of the microtubules associated with the mitotic apparatus by high pressure, colchicine or low temperature does not alter the T1 of water protons in the cell, it is proposed that the increased state of ordered water molecules at metaphase is maintained by nonmicrotubular factor(s) of the metaphase egg.

Much progress in nuclear magnetic resonance microscope has been made in the last few years as a result of improved instrumentation and techniques being made available through basic research in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies for medicine. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was first observed in the hydrogen nucleus in water by Bloch, Purcell and Pound over 40 years ago. Today, in medicine, virtually all commercial MRI scans are made of water bound in tissue. This is also true for NMR microscopy, which has focussed mainly on biological applications. The reason water is the favored molecule for NMR is because water is,the most abundant molecule in biology. It is also the most NMR sensitive having the largest nuclear magnetic moment and having reasonable room temperature relaxation times (from 10 ms to 3 sec). The contrast seen in magnetic resonance images is due mostly to distribution of water relaxation times in sample which are extremely sensitive to the local environment.

The T2 relaxation times recorded by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logging are measures of the ratio of the internal surface area to volume of the formation pore system. Although standard porosity logs are restricted to estimating the volume, the NMR log partitions the pore space as a spectrum of pore sizes. These logs have great potential to elucidate carbonate sequences, which can have single, double, or triple porosity systems and whose pores have a wide variety of sizes and shapes. Continuous coring and NMR logging was made of the Cambro-Ordovician Arbuckle saline aquifer in a proposed CO2 injection well in southern Kansas. The large data set gave a rare opportunity to compare the core textural descriptions to NMR T2 relaxation time signatures over an extensive interval. Geochemical logs provided useful elemental information to assess the potential role of paramagnetic components that affect surface relaxivity. Principal component analysis of the T2 relaxation time subdivided the spectrum into five distinctive pore-size classes. When the T2 distribution was allocated between grainstones, packstones, and mudstones, the interparticle porosity component of the spectrum takes a bimodal form that marks a distinction between grain-supported and mud-supported texture. This discrimination was also reflected by the computed gamma-ray log, which recorded contributions from potassium and thorium and therefore assessed clay content reflected by fast relaxation times. A megaporosity class was equated with T2 relaxation times summed from 1024 to 2048 ms bins, and the volumetric curve compared favorably with variation over a range of vug sizes observed in the core. The complementary link between grain textures and pore textures was fruitful in the development of geomodels that integrates geologic core observations with petrophysical log measurements.

This work describes the preliminary analysis of Fricke gels dosimeters characterized by a new formulation making use of a matrix of polyvinyl alcohol cross-linked by adding glutaraldehyde and analyzed by means of nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry. In previous optical studies, these gels have shown promising dosimetric features in terms of photon sensitivity and low diffusion of ferric ions produced after irradiation. In this work, we used a portable nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometer to measure the relaxation times (which are important for dosimetric applications) of these gel materials. For this purpose, we performed a study for optimizing the acquisition parameters with a nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometer. Gel samples were exposed to clinical 6 MV photons in the dose range between 0 and 20 Gy. Nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry measurements were per- formed and the sensitivity to photon beams was measured for various values of the Fe2+ ion concentration. The analyses pointed out that the MR signal increases as the Fe2+ content in- creases and the increase is about 75 % when the concentration of Fe2+ ions is increased from 0.5 mM to 2.5 mM. Furthermore, the sensitivity improvement achieved with increasing the Fe2+ concentration is about 60 %. This paper shows that the portable nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometer used for analysis of porous materials can be used for characterization of these dosimetric gels and this study can be considered as the first step for the characterization of these dosimeters which in future could be used for 3-D dose mapping in clinical applications.
