MINES25027 - MINES25027 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer

The Colorado School of Mines (“Mines”) is acquiring a specific benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance (“NMR”) spectrometer (“Spectrometer”) with the ability to measure diffusion along a specified direction, which is a capability akin to magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”). The Spectrometer enables the measurement of diffusion and transport of particles or ions within electrolyte materials used in batteries and other energy storage devices. The Spectrometer includes a triple-axis gradient system, allowing for the measurement of diffusion coefficients and, in principle, three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is also the only Spectrometer capable of providing a pulsed field gradient in the direction of ion migration within an NMR tube, which is a crucial feature for the electrophoretic NMR experiments.
