Our aim is the construction of a general purpose portable device with possible applications in materials science, biology, environmental science and medicine. In this note, we present a new design of a hand-size elliptical permanent magnet suitable for unilateral NMR spectroscopy and one-dimensional (1D) MRI. We optimized the magnet configuration to get a penetration depth of up to 1 cm and 1D imaging capabilities.
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.
