摘要
For a number of NMR applications the availability of screened gradients is crucial to minimize the effect of eddy currents on the NMR signal. In this paper we review two types of shielded gradient design: the target field and minimum inductance methods. The two designs are compared and construction details are presented. A novel coil design constructed with a double-sided primary and a single layered screen is outlined. Experimental results for both target field and minimum inductance coils are presented and compared.
