Measuring the Gyromagnetic Ratio Through Continuous Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Amy Catalano and Yash Aggarwal, Adlab, Boston University, Boston MA 02215 1 Measuring the gyromagnetic ratio through continuous nuclear magnetic resonance Amy Catalano and Yash Aggarwal, Adlab, Boston University, Boston MA 02215 Abstract—In this experiment we use continuous wave nuclear magnetic resonance to measure the gyromagnetic ratios of Hydro- gen, Fluorine, the H nuclei in Water, and Water with Gadolinium. Our best result for Hydrogen was 25.4 ± 0.19 rad/Tm, compared to the previously reported value of 23 rad/Tm [1]. Our results for the gyromagnetic ratio of water and water with gadolinium contained a greater difference than expected. I. INTRODUCTION Nuclear magnetic resonance has to do with the absorption of radiation by a nucleus in a magnetic field. The energy Fig. 1. Schematic diagram for continuous nmr of a nucleus in a B-field can be written in terms of the gyromagnetic ratio, γ the magnetic field, B, and the frequency, f: III. DATA AND ERROR ANALYSIS ∆E = γB = 2πf (1) For Hydrogen, we plotted 16 points on a graph of frequency The gyromagnetic ratio is a fundamental nuclear constant (Mhz) and magnetic field (Gs). Using the numpy library in and is a different value for every nucleus. Every nucleus Python we calculated a linear best fit line of has a magnetic moment. The principle of nuclear magnetic resonance is to put the nucleus with an intrinsic nuclear spin y = mx + b (2) in a magnetic field and measure at which B-field and frequency where the spin of the nucleus flips. As we vary the magnetic field and the nucleus absorbs the signal from the spectrometer, the Gs m = 217:89 ± 1:95 (3) nucleus will go from a lower energy state to a higher energy MHz state. It will then re-emit the radiation and return to a lower energy state. We chose to use gadolinium, which is strongly b = −30:93 ± 26:84Gs (4) paramagnetic due to its electronic structure and 8 unpaired electrons, because in medical diagnoses, gadolinium contrast The slope, when converted to radians per second Tesla and agent improves the quality of MRI images. In a pulsed nuclear plugged into eq (1) yields a gyromagnetic ratio of magnetic resonance experiment, we know that gadolinium has rad a strong effect on the relaxation time of water, so we wanted γ = 2:88 ± 0:02 × 108 (5) T s to see if gadolinium would have a strong effect on water in a continuous nuclear magnetic resonance experiment. II. EXPERIMENTAL SET-UP We used a computer connected to a TEL-Atomic CWS 12- 50 spectrometer, which does a sweep of the magnetic field over 300 Gauss. The spectrometer is connected to an electromagnet. We put samples of HBF4, H2O, and H2O with Gadolinium in a probehead, which then goes in the electromagnet. The reading from the probehead goes back to the computer. We also used several gaussmeters to test the magnetic field within the electromagnet. We kept the frequency fixed and swept over the magnetic field, then recorded the B-field at which the signal is absorbed and the spin flips. We did this for several different frequencies, then made a plot of frequency vs magnetic field. To be submitted to PRL 11/15/18 Fig. 2. Frequency vs Magnetic Field for Hydrogen 2 After the experiment we did a mathematical least squares fit. We calculated chi square and got a value of: X 2 = 0:45 ± 5:29 (6) For Fluorine, the linear best fit line yields a slope and intercept of: Gs m = 242:53 ± 0:73 (7) MHz b = −177:33 ± 10:18Gs (8) This yields a gyromagnetic ratio of rad γ = 2:59 ± 0:02 × 108 (9) T s Fig. 4. Frequency vs Magnetic Field for Water Fig. 3. Frequency vs Magnetic Field for Fluorine We calculated chi square and got a value of: Fig. 5. Frequency vs Magnetic Field for Water with Gadolinium X 2 = 0:001 ± 4:24 (10) For water, the linear best fit line yields a slope and intercept We calculated chi square and got a value of: of: X 2 = 0:067 ± 5:10 (18) Gs m = 225:31 ± 1:17 (11) MHz IV. DISCUSSION b = −144:04 ± 15:92Gs (12) We compared our result for Hydrogen to the referenced This yields a gyromagnetic ratio of value for Hydrogen which was 8 rad rad γ = 2:79 ± 0:02 × 10 (13) γ = 2:68 × 108 ± 0:02 (19) T s T s [2]. We calculated chi square and got a value of: The percent difference is about 7 percent. The gyromagnetic X 2 = 0:09 ± 4:90 (14) ratios of water and water with gadolinium differ by 1.79 percent. We expected the gyromagnetic ratio of water with For water with gadolinium, the linear best fit line yields a gadolinium to be smaller and the difference to be within our slope and intercept of: error bars, so we attribute the larger difference to machine Gs errors within the set-up of the experiment. m = 220:87 ± 0:86 (15) MHz One problem was the disagreement between the reading of b = −86:00 ± 11:77Gs (16) the magnetic field on the computer and the reading of the magnetic field on four different gaussmeters. The range of This yields a gyromagnetic ratio of magnetic fields on these gaussmeters was too large to average, rad so we took the two gaussmeters that were in closest agreement γ = 2:84 ± 0:02 × 108 (17) T s and used the average of those values for the magnetic field. It is 3 highly advised that the next group to conduct this experiment test the magnetic field with more gaussmeters and more probes in order to find the true value of the magnetic field. Due to time constraints, we could not do multiple trials of the same measurement and therefore could not evaluate those statistical errors. V. CONCLUSION This experiment attempted to measure the gyromagnetic ratios of Hydrogen, Fluorine, Water, and Water with Gadolin- ium. Our value for the gyromagnetic ratio of Hydrogen, 8 rad γ = 2:88 ± 0:02 × 10 T s was within 7 percent of the previously reported value. We expected gadolinium to have a negligible effect on the gyromagnetic ratio of the H nuclei in water, and we attribute this difference to machine errors.

  • Magnetic Moment of a Spin, Its Equation of Motion, and Precession B1.1.6
    Magnetic Moment of a Spin, Its Equation of UNIT B1.1 Motion, and Precession OVERVIEW The ability to “see” protons using magnetic resonance imaging is predicated on the proton having a mass, a charge, and a nonzero spin. The spin of a particle is analogous to its intrinsic angular momentum. A simple way to explain angular momentum is that when an object rotates (e.g., an ice skater), that action generates an intrinsic angular momentum. If there were no friction in air or of the skates on the ice, the skater would spin forever. This intrinsic angular momentum is, in fact, a vector, not a scalar, and thus spin is also a vector. This intrinsic spin is always present. The direction of a spin vector is usually chosen by the right-hand rule. For example, if the ice skater is spinning from her right to left, then the spin vector is pointing up; the skater is rotating counterclockwise when viewed from the top. A key property determining the motion of a spin in a magnetic field is its magnetic moment. Once this is known, the motion of the magnetic moment and energy of the moment can be calculated. Actually, the spin of a particle with a charge and a mass leads to a magnetic moment. An intuitive way to understand the magnetic moment is to imagine a current loop lying in a plane (see Figure B1.1.1). If the loop has current I and an enclosed area A, then the magnetic moment is simply the product of the current and area (see Equation B1.1.8 in the Technical Discussion), with the direction n^ parallel to the normal direction of the plane.

  • 4 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
    Chapter 4, page 1 4 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Pieter Zeeman observed in 1896 the splitting of optical spectral lines in the field of an electromagnet. Since then, the splitting of energy levels proportional to an external magnetic field has been called the "Zeeman effect". The "Zeeman resonance effect" causes magnetic resonances which are classified under radio frequency spectroscopy (rf spectroscopy). In these resonances, the transitions between two branches of a single energy level split in an external magnetic field are measured in the megahertz and gigahertz range. In 1944, Jevgeni Konstantinovitch Savoiski discovered electron paramagnetic resonance. Shortly thereafter in 1945, nuclear magnetic resonance was demonstrated almost simultaneously in Boston by Edward Mills Purcell and in Stanford by Felix Bloch. Nuclear magnetic resonance was sometimes called nuclear induction or paramagnetic nuclear resonance. It is generally abbreviated to NMR. So as not to scare prospective patients in medicine, reference to the "nuclear" character of NMR is dropped and the magnetic resonance based imaging systems (scanner) found in hospitals are simply referred to as "magnetic resonance imaging" (MRI). 4.1 The Nuclear Resonance Effect Many atomic nuclei have spin, characterized by the nuclear spin quantum number I. The absolute value of the spin angular momentum is L =+h II(1). (4.01) The component in the direction of an applied field is Lz = Iz h ≡ m h. (4.02) The external field is usually defined along the z-direction. The magnetic quantum number is symbolized by Iz or m and can have 2I +1 values: Iz ≡ m = −I, −I+1, ..., I−1, I.

Gyromagnetic ratio Importance of magnetic resonance History of magnetic resonance First nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments followed a long line of research in related fields, and were described and carried out on LiCl molecular beams by Isidor Rabi in USA in 1938. In order for the spin of an atomic nucleus to be determined via Rabi’s technique, a sample needed to be vaporized and then exposed to a magnetic field. See details at www.magnet.fsu.edu/education/tutorials/pioneers/ Felix Bloch and Edward Purcell, working independently of each other in USA, expanded the technique for use on liquids and solids. Rabi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in 1944. Bloch and Purcell shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1952.

  • Gyromagnetic Ratio for High Spin Systems
    GYROMAGNETIC RATIO FOR HIGH SPIN SYSTEMS M. Rajasekaran, R. Premanand & D. Caleb Chanthi Raj Department of Nuclear Physics, University of Madras, Guindy Campus, Madras 600 025. The gyromagnetic ratio g^ is c collective nuclear parameter which measures the magnetic properties associated with nucleonic flow. In the simplest versions of nuclear collective models, tho gyromagnetic factor of collective states are expected to be of the order of Z/A, with the assumption that all protons and neutrons take part equally in the collective motion. But the accuracy of the experimental information was in general not good enough to test this property. Theoretically, there are many methods to calculate the g-factors like i) pairing-plus quadrupole approach, the projected Hartree-Fock (PHF) method, the cranked Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov (CHFB), Interacting boson approximation (IBA), etc. In the present work, we calculate the g-factor by statistical method involving pairing correlation. We calculate g for high spins for various temperatures.
