Inhomogeneous interactions in solids under slow off-magic angle spinning

The central band of an inhomogeneous interaction under slow off-magic angle spinning (off-MAS) is no longer a scaled static spectrum with scaling factor P-2(cos v), that is, the spectrum distortion occurs in comparison with that under the rapid rotation condition. The dependence of this distortion in the chemical shift spectrum, for instance, on anisotropy, the asymmetry parameter, spinning rate and the angle between the spinning axis and the applied magnetic field is studied in this paper. It is shown that the distortion can be partly eliminated by using TOSS in certain circumstances. Experimental evidence is presented in this study.
