Off-Resonance effects in two-dimensional NQR spectroscopy using a single crystal

Abstract

Two-dimensional nutation pure NQR experiments on ³⁵Cl have been carried out on a single crystal of NaClO₃. The 2D nutation experiment separates out different orientations of each chemically equivalent site in a unit cell as a separate frequency in the ω₁domain. The squares of the observed frequencies lie on a straight line with respect to the squares of the offsets, confirming the expected offset dependence quantitatively. The intercepts at zero offset yield the relative orientations of the efg tensors with respect to the axis of the radiofrequency coil.
