Abstract

A method is implemented to perform “fast” adiabatic variation of the spin Hamiltonian by imposing the constant adiabaticity condition. The method is applied to improve the performance of singlet‐state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) experiments, specifically, for efficient generation and readout of the singlet spin order in coupled spin pairs by applying adiabatically ramped RF‐fields. Test experiments have been performed on a specially designed molecule having two strongly coupled 13C spins and on selectively isotopically labelled glycerol having two pairs of coupled protons. Optimized RF‐ramps show improved performance in comparison, for example, to linear ramps. We expect that the methods described here are useful, not only for singlet‐state NMR experiments, but also for other experiments in magnetic resonance, which utilize adiabatic variation of the spin Hamiltonian.
