Determining the effect electrical current and conductivity have on the T1 and T2 relaxation times of protons in water
Date
March 21, 2022
Temperature and concentration are known to affect the T1 and T2 relaxation times of water. The purpose of this study is to use a Magritek 43 MHz benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (NMR) to determine whether electrical current has an effect on the T1 and T2 relaxation times of water. A novel NMR tube is being designed to safely send a current through the water. A NMR is being utilized to measure the relaxation times. T1 relaxation times of protons in water will be measured using inverse recovery, while the T2 relaxation times will be measured using the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) method.
