A novel sensitivity-enhancement technique is proposed for experiments which correlate protein backbone resonances and start with magnetization from 13Calpha-1Halpha groups. The technique is based on replenishing magnetization lost by dipole-CSA cross-correlated relaxation of the 13Calpha spin with 13Calpha steady state magnetization. The principle is demonstrated for the (HCA)CONH experiment, r...

A single domain ferromagnetic particle is characterized by an internal potential, having several local states of equilibrium with potential barriers between them. If the particles are small ~; 10 nm! so that the potential barriers are relatively low, the magnetization vector M may cross over the barriers due to thermal agitation. The ensuing thermal instability of the magnetization results in t...

Inversion of magnetic data has long been hampered by the need to specify the direction of magnetization. We present a general approach that utilizes the minimal dependence on magnetization direction of amplitude and total gradient data and thereby overcome the difficulty associated with inversion when unknown remanent magnetization is present. To construct the inversion algorithm for the magnit...

Introduction Recently published studies [1,2], showed an increased sensitivity of intermolecular multiple quantum coherences (iMQC) to magnetization transfer (MT) effects compared to single quantum coherences (SQC). The image contrast in magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) MRI is proportional to (Mz/M0) , where Mz is the actual longitudinal magnetization, M0 is the equilibrium magnetization a...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE T1-weighted MR images show high signal intensity in the pallidum of many patients with liver cirrhosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate quantitative changes in MR signals in patients with liver cirrhosis by using the magnetization transfer technique. METHODS Magnetization transfer ratios were measured in seven different regions of the brain in 37 patients with...

It is predicted that III-V diluted magnetic semiconductors can exhibit stripelike modulations of magnetization and carrier concentration. This inhomogeneity results from the strong dependence of the magnetization on the carrier concentration. Within Landau theory, a characteristic temperature T* below the Curie temperature is found so that below T* the equilibrium magnetization shows modulation...

We have measured the anisotropic magnetoresistance of Fe films exchange coupled to antiferromagnetic MnF2 layers. Exchange bias and coercivity obtained from magnetoresistance are in close agreement with superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry data. In addition the magnetoresistance reveals an asymmetry in the magnetization reversal process, despite the fact that the magnetizati...
