SENSOR FOR GENERATING NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE SIGNALS

摘要

A sensor for generating nuclear magnetic resonance signals, comprising a radio-frequency NMR coil whose frame accomodates a rotor with a test sample. The rotor is rotatably mounted in a gas bearing which is formed by the surface of revolution of the rotor, the internal surface of the frame and a gap between the above-mentioned surfaces. The compressed gas is delivered to the gap so as to produce the gas pillow of the gas bearing and to provide thermostatic control of the test sample. The rotor is provided with a rotation means.
