A nuclear-magnetic-resonance method is explored, which effectively attenuates the dipolar interaction in solids. The experimental technique corresponds to the observation of a free-induction decay in a frame of reference rotating with the frequency of an applied rf field. When the amplitude Hi of this field is much greater than the local field in the solid, and when its frequency is appropriately chosen, the secular part of the dipolar interaction is removed. As a result the rotary saturation line is extremely narrowed. At smaller values of Hi, nonsecular terms in the dipolar interaction come into play and contribute to line broadening. These nonsecular effects are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. All the measurements were made in single crystals of calcium fluoride. The calculation of the nonsecular contribution to the line width utilizes the unitary transformation method of Jordhal and Pryce. Theory and experiment are in good agreement.
A review of recent experiments in two-dimensional turbulence is presented. Work on flowing soap films and on thin layers of fluid driven electromagnetically is covered. Theoretical notions of turbulence in two and three dimensions are introduced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
