Abstract
The influence of acoustic radiation in the form of ultrasound (US) on the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal of liquids in the presence of piezo- and ferroelectric nanoparticles was investigated. The NMR resonances of 1H and 23Na were influenced by US with a frequency of ÏUS=18.26MHz. For hydrogen, US with a frequency ÏUS=Ï0 was used where Ï0 is the Larmor frequency of 18.26Â MHz. For sodium, US with a frequency ÏUS=2Ï0,Na was used with Ï0,Na=9.13MHz. A detailed description of nanoparticle properties and sample preparation is given. The influence of US on the spin-lattice relaxation time T1 was determined with an inversion recovery sequence for different concentrations of PZT. An elongation of T1 of 1H by 1.7% at a PZT concentration of 0.05% and an elongation of T1 of 23Na by 3% at a PZT concentration of 0.04% was observed. The elongation scales with the concentration of the PZT. An possible explanation of the effect of elongation is discussed.
