Description

A kind of NMR device and measuring method based on laser atomic magnetic force meter
Technical field
The invention belongs to nuclear magnetic resonance (Nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR) spectrum, more specifically relate to a kind of NMR device based on laser atomic magnetic force meter, also relate to the measuring method of a kind of NMR based on laser atomic magnetic force meter, be applicable to (the 1uT=10 at 100uT~1nT -6t, 1nT=10 -9t) under magnetic field, detect NMR signal.
Background technology
NMR is a kind of be used for the obtaining molecular structure that forms about atom and atom and technology of dynamic information.NMR works to atomic nucleus, and only the atomic nucleus with non-vanishing spin is worked, and these non-vanishing nuclear spins, just as having one by one the small magnet of south poles, have magnetic moment, thereby can be used to NMR research.
In the time that these magnetic moments are in outside static magnetic field, owing to there is angle in magnetic moment and outer static magnetic field, because generation precession, when using radio-frequency (RF) magnetic field irradiated atoms core, atomic nucleus absorbs radio-frequency (RF) energy, and launch the radiofrequency signal corresponding with precession speed, the characteristic information that this radiofrequency signal can reaction of atomic core.Atomic nucleus is in certain environment, there is interaction in various degree in these environment and atomic nucleus, be reflected in the radiofrequency signal emitting, can cause it in strength, to have relaxation phenomenon, by studying this attenuate action, can obtain the circumnuclear space structure of atom and dynamic behaviour information.
In NMR wave spectrum, change the frequency of radio-frequency (RF) magnetic field, measure absorption and the emissive porwer of atomic nucleus to different frequency radio-frequency (RF) magnetic field, can obtain resonance spectrum, this NMR wave spectrum can disclose elemental composition and the content of material, be combined with correlation theory, even can obtain structure and the movable information of each element atom.
NMR invented before and after the 1950's, in the developing history of its decades, for obtaining higher NMR spectral resolution, magnetic field intensity and radio-frequency (RF) field frequency are increasing always, from Larmor (Larmor) frequency of initial 10MHz magnitude, 900MHz up till now, even has the NMR spectrometer of producer at development GHz radio-frequency field.
Although High-Field NMR has high resolving power, from practical application, high field intensity and high RF frequency are restricted in some application.Along with the raising in magnetic field, the unevenness that magnetic sample conductance distributes can be aggravated, thereby makes signal broadening, and the sample that especially comprises the ferromagnetic elements such as iron-cobalt-nickel, normally cannot analyze by NMR technology.Another FAQs is the magnetic susceptibility artifact in magnetic resonance imaging (Magnetic resonance imaging, MRI).In the time that variety classes sample or the similar sample with higher susceptibility gradient are in magnetic field, the sample composition of different magnetic susceptibility can produce parasitic gradient magnetic.When these parasitic gradient fields are when suitable for the gradient fields of encoding, the image serious distortion of MRI.In medical imaging, the existence of metal dental filling or jewellry can destroy MRI; The saltus step of body interior solid-liquid and solid-air interface place magnetic susceptibility, produces trickle distortion.
From scientific research, conventionally the true environment of chemical example and biological tissue is terrestrial magnetic field (40~50uT), for obtaining as far as possible point subsample and tissue structure and the dynamic information under actual environment, need to be used in the original position research of carrying out NMR and MRI under low (terrestrial magnetic field and following) condition; But traditional RF coil Detection Techniques, because it is in low muting sensitivity after the match, have some limitations in the time carrying out this type of research.
Although based superconductive quantum interference device (Superconducting quantum interference device, SQUID) magnetometer, also can be in the very high detection of magnetic field sensitivity of low realization after the match, and be applied to low NMR research, but it is the same with NMR spectrometer, be operated in the required low temperature environment of superconduction, still limit to some extent in application aspect.
In sum, although NMR is applied widely in each field as a kind of powerful nuclear spin analytical technology, but NMR technology RF used (Radio Frequency) coil is poor in low detection sensitivity after the match at present, still can not meet the requirement of some application.
Therefore, we need some low high sensitivity NMR instrument and technology after the match.Development in recent years has gone out several low NMR instruments, and these technology have made up traditional NMR in low muting sensitivity defect after the match.The people such as I.M.Savukov are at " NMR Detection with an Atomic Magnetometer " (Phys.Rev.Lett.94,123001 (2005)) in, carry out NMR detection with laser atomic magnetic force meter, this laser atomic magnetic force meter uses in potassium (K) atom of 180 DEG C as actuating medium, has 20fT/Hz at direct current on the frequency range of hundreds of Hz 1/2sensitivity, record the NMR signal of water taking signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) (Signal to noise ratio, SNR) as 10 unitary sampling.The people such as V.V.Yashchuk in " Hyperpolarized Xenon Nuclear Spins Detected by Optical Atomic Magnetometry " (Phys.Rev.Lett.93,160801 (2004)) by atomic magnetic force instrumentation amount the T of hyperpolarization Xe atom 1constant.The C-H J coupling spectrum (one of NMR spectrum of ethanol that the people such as M.P.Ledbetter have used laser atomic magnetic force instrumentation amount in " Optical detection of NMR J-spectra at zero magnetic field ", can be used for determining the structure in chemical molecular), and this measurement is carried out under zero magnetic field.
The one of laser atomic magnetic force meter based on atom and laser interaction generation is called as the quantum-mechanical phenomenon of non-linear magneto-optical rotation (Nonlinear magneto-optical rotation, NMOR).The NMOR signal producing due to this phenomenon has extremely narrow live width, and to magnetic-field-sensitive, and therefore natural have a highly sensitive magnetic field detection ability, and in addition, even under Exceedingly feeble magnetic field as even lower in 100uT~1nT magnitude, this sensitivity can variation yet.
The above-mentioned method of utilizing laser atomic magnetic force meter to detect NMR signal, also has certain defect, such as the probe of laser atomic magnetic force meter is an atomic vapour bubble that works in 170~210 DEG C of left and right, its excess Temperature, NMR sample is had to the impact of spectral line broadening, the present invention will be for this problem, proposes a kind of new method.

Step 8, host computer (13) are controlled solenoid valve (15) by relay (16), and then control air compressor (14) be blown into the direction in cylinder (18), sample hose (17) is floated to the inside center of the pre-polarized magnets of annular (19);
Step 9, maintenance sample hose (17) suspension setting-up time, make its fully pre-polarization, host computer (13) is controlled solenoid valve (15) by relay (16), and then change air compressor (14) is blown into the direction in cylinder (18), make sample hose (17) be passed down through guiding coil (20), arrive the top of caesium atomic vapour bubble (7);
Electric current in step 10, control low-angle pulsed coil (21), produces direct current or alternating-current pulse, changes sample magnetic moment direction;
There is the little angle of 5~15 degree in the direction of step 11, sample magnetic moment and bias magnetic field, sample magnetic moment is subject to physically the effect of a moment and does precession around bias magnetic field, and magnetic field is applied to disturbance, obtains the NMR signal of time domain;
