Nuclear and Biological Materials are often very complex chemical and physical systems. Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Magnetic Resonance Imaging offer unique possibilities for their study.

High Field Solid State NMR and MRI

    NMR microcoil MACS insert Amorphous, paramagnetic, porous solids and biomaterials represent one main interest in research. The goal is to develop the methodology and the instrumentation in order to solve questions related to structure and dynamics in complex systems, by manipulating the nuclear magnetism.

    We have recently introduced rotating microdetectors (micro-coils) in solid-state NMR which offer the possibility to lower the detection levels, without sacrificing resolution. We believe that they open new avenues in methodology by the use of very high radio-frequency amplitudes and offer new possiblitites for the detection of limited-volume samples.

Low Field Portable NMR and MRI

    Portable, high-sensitivity low-field detectors are the second axis of our research. Analysis away from the laboratory becomes important, in particular in hostile environments, such as high-radiation areas. It can be also cost effective compared to standard superconducting imaging systems. Imaging and on-line inspection of such industrial processes is a challenging question we try to solve.
