New line-narrowing effect in triple-quantum resonance in a two-level NMR system.
We report a new line-narrowing effect associated with triple-quantum resonance in a two-level NMR system. The experiment was carried out in the rotating frame on (19)F nuclei in Teflon; namely, the magnetization is spin-locked along the RF field and the triple-quantum resonance is induced by the oscillating field perpendicular to the RF field. We observed that the decay time of the triple-quantum nutation becomes extraordinarily long at a particular intensity and frequency of the oscillating field. The decay time is about seven times as long as that of the single-quantum nutation and also much longer than that of the magic angle nutation. The mechanism is not interpreted by straightforward analogy to the theory of the current magic angle narrowing.
