Highlights and Milestones:
•Static probes developed for flat (270 L), and static bicelle (5 and 6.6 mm) samples for 600 and 900. Users include Cross, Veglia, Cotten, Ramamoorthy, Lorigan.•MAS probe developed for 4 mm / 750 MHz (Long).•Bruker adapted technology for “Efree” probe; sponsored postdoc at MagLab for 2 years (2007-2009).
100 mM NaCl20 mM TmDOTP@ 600 MHz
•Independent loop gap resonator for 1H channel reduces electric field, sample heating
•Double-tuned solenoid optimized for lower frequency (has more turns)
Supported by User Collaboration Grant “Instrumentation and Techniques to Use 14N NMR to Probe the Structure of Biomolecules,” Brey, Gan Gor’kov, Hung
•Solenoid uses Cross-Waugh network with lumped element traps, balanced on both X&Y channels.
•Plug in and screw down inductors and capacitors allow rapid retuning.
•Revolution NMR stators have been optimized to accommodate long low-E inserts.
•Prototype MAS probe for 600 MHz. Follow on probes will include 900 MAS, 600/900 static, 750 MAS.

7 mm and 4 mm MAS probes
unbalanced balanced
•Balanced tuning reduces voltages, suppresses arcing, allows doubling of B1.
• Insertable capacitors allow practical balanced circuit in 32 mm bore of 830 magnet (see photo).
•For MQMAS (4 mm rotor), multiple quantum excitation efficiency and S/N ~ γB1 thereby doubling the S/N for the balanced version.
•7 mm probe (shown at right) always needed more B1.
Improved VT MAS Capability for 900Routine Spinning to Below -150 C
Team members (L-R): Jason Kitchen, Rebecca Altman, Jessica Vanterpool, Zachary Stevenson
•LN2 system cools probe quickly from room temp to -150 C (123 K) with N2 flow of 1200 L/hr (42 scfh)
•Minimal icing allows safe, reliable operation•Auto refill controller for continuous operation•Refills of 45 L lab cryostat (from 40% to 60%)
occur about every 3 hours (9 L transfer per refill).•Tied for Best Senior Project of 2009 in FAMU-FSU

Insulation on precooling coils
1. Shield the precooling coils from venting gas. Boiloff increases during fills, reducing outlet gas temperature. The increase in cryogen consumption was only ~10%.
2. Pressurize the supply dewar only during transfers. The LN2 in a self-pressurized cryostat at 22 psig is at 86 K, not 77 K, which changes the bath temperature during a transfer.
3. Adjust the PID coefficients for the VT controller. The Bruker “edte” autotune gives very low values of “P” that compromises the response.

36 T in 2013: the Series Connected Hybrid
Supported by NSF through DMR-0603042
The SCH will have less field noise and better homogeneity (after correction) than other powered magnets.
We are developing:
•Field regulation (Schiano collaboration)•Active shims (MS&T collaboration)•RF Probes
Proposal to NSF’s “MRI-R2” call for 1.6 GHz console was submitted August 2009.
