Nuclear magnetic resonance in pulsed high‐field magnets

NMR has benefited tremendously from superconducting magnet technology providing stable, ever increasing magnetic fields over the last few decades. However, since superconductors expel magnetic field and with no suitable material in sight this trend has come to a halt at ∼20 T, and resistive magnet designs are being used again for high‐field applications. Outside NMR, much higher magnetic fields (∼85 T) can be achieved with pulsed, resistive magnets. A low duty cycle and a small magnet volume cut down on the average losses and make these systems affordable. Here, we show for the first time that NMR can be accomplished even in pulsed high‐field magnets, and we discuss why this technique is able to become a promising research tool.
