Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (MAS NMR) (Autodesk Inventor)

This video shows a rotor spinning at 54.7(the Magic Angle) degrees with respect to the strong magnetic field used in NMR experiments. Magic angle spinning (MAS) averages out chemical shift anisotropy and weak dipolar couplings and allows the acquisition of high-resolution NMR spectra of solids. The rendition in this video was taken from the drawings described in A.B. Barnes et al., Cryogenic sample exchange NMR probe for magic angle spinning dynamic nuclear polarization, J. Magn. Reson. (2009), doi:10.1016/j.jmr.2009.03.003 Please site this paper if this video is used in any presentation or research, and please feel free to read the paper (available through Elsevier and Journal of Magnetic Resonance) if you have further interest.
