Colleagues:
We are designing a new lab for our single crystal Xray facility. One
of the prime locations happens to be situated below a magnetic
resonance laboratory (what a surprise). The NMR lab has a single
Oxford 400-89 unshielded magnet, at field. My field plots suggest
that, without shielding of any kind, there will be a 5 Gauss line
hanging in the air about five feet off the ground at the site
directly below the magnet in the new XRD laboratory.
What do we know about this?
My concern is to understand what effect, if any, the static field
will have on the XRD apparatus (Bruker AXS) if it is placed directly
below the magnet. Do we have any examples of labs where NMRs and
modern (less than one year old) Xray apparatus are living side by
side (or above and below) each other? Any wisdom or knowledge would
be appreciated.
I'll post a summary.
Thanks.
