The dependence of the longitudinal proton magnetization build-up rate in
a three-proton spin system against the duty factor of the fp-RFDR pulse
sequence, f=τ180/ τR, at
60 kHz MAS for different phase cycling schemes. The buildup rate is defined as
the inverse of mixing time needed for the transferred magnetization intensity to
reach the maximum. In the simulations using SIMPSON, a three spin ½
system was considered with 1 kHz (A) and 5 kHz (B) homonuclear dipolar
couplings. The final equilibrated magnetization intensity, obtained at a mixing
time of 100 ms, as a function of fp-RFDR duty factor for a homonuclear dipolar
coupling of 1 (C), 10 (D), 20 (E) and 29.3 kHz (F). The duty factor was adjusted
by changing the RF field strength used for the 180° pulse in the fp-RFDR
pulse sequence.
