Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is among the oldest and most widespread techniques in biological and chemical studies, yet observing any but the half dozen most common nuclei remains taxing. β-NMR is not just trying to amend this by putting new nuclei, like alkali metals, back on the NMR-menu, but actively exploiting their properties to gain signal enhancements and novel measurement modi. Due...
This work presents the study of the coupling between the local electric and magnetic fields in multiferroic bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3 or BFO) using Time Differential Perturbed Angular Correlation (TDPAC) spectroscopy. The measurements were carried out below the Néel temperature TN (643 K), after the implantation of the 111In (111Cd) probe. The TDPAC spectra display the coupling between the...
Cutting-edge instrumentation has been at the core of relevant discoveries in nuclear physics, and has paved the way for innovative applications and translation to other fields. State-of-the-art detector systems also play a very important role in medical imaging. They have been essential to some of the new developments in positron emission tomography (PET). One of the lines of research of the...
