Re: [AMMRL] Y89 measurement

Good afternoon Stephen

For 89Y (transmitter frequency 24.5013454) on a 5 mm broadband probe on a
"500" magnet, I use a 3 M solution of Y(NO3)3.6H2O and I get a reasonable
signal from 4 scans (transients) with d1 = 720 seconds with pw = 18 us at
150 W. I've not measured the T1 of this sample but 720 seconds seemed a
reasonable figure based on the information in Brevard & Granger's book that
reads "*T1 typical value (s): > 50*"). If you're struggling to find a
signal from a multi-molar solution, set a wide sweep width to start with,
~1000 ppm.

Kind regards,
Craig.
