Abstract
Zero field NMR and NQR spectra are obtained by the application of dc magnetic field pulses to a demagnetized sample. Pulsed dc fields allow for selective excitation of isotopic species and provide a means for coherent manipulation of the spin system in zero field. Using these selective pulses and level crossing techniques, indirect detection of a quadrupolar nucleus may be accomplished via protons without obtaining the proton background signal in the NQR spectrum. Experimental results from a variety of 1H, 2H, and 14N homo‐ and heteronuclear systems are presented as an illustration of these techniques.
