Improved sensitivity of our NMR technique enabled us to clearly observe Al-NMR signals, which are confirmed to come from Al nuclei in the 20-nm layers. From the analysis of the Al-NMR spectra, the local magnetic field was found to be +0.17+-0.02 (-0.20+-0.01) Tesla, the sign of which is consistent with the geometry that the external magnetic field was applied perpendicular (parallel) to the Al layer. The present study gives a potential key element toward realizing higher resolution in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-07-15T08:01:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "76.60.Pc", "75.50.Bb" ], "keywords": [ "direct observation", "micromagnet", "standard nuclear magnetic resonance", "directly observing local magnetic field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Applied Physics Letters", "year": 2008, "month": "Jun", "volume": 92, "number": 25, "pages": 253116 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008ApPhL..92y3116W" } } }
