Abstract
In solid state magic angle spinning experiments on a polycrystalline sample containing dilute heteronuclear spin pairs, the usual spectrum is insensitive to small heteronuclear couplings between the spins, and to the relative orientations of the various interaction tensors. Applying a radio frequency of an intensity chosen to satisfy a rotary resonance condition can restore the heteronuclear splittings in the spectrum. Theory and numerical simulations of this effect are presented. The sensitivity of the spectra to the intensity of the radio frequency field and to the relative orientations of tensors is explored. To fully explain the experimental results, it is necessary to postulate a small phase modulation induced by the motion of the sample through a radio frequency field of non‐uniform direction.
