Note by Stan Sykora, added in March 2007:
After some hesitation, I have decided to make this Review available online. Gianni Ferrante (CEO of Stelar) and I (now Extra Byte) have written it back in 2004 and published it in Advances in Inorganic Chemistry. That was somewhat incongruous, since engineering-oriented people are not likely to find it there nor - even if they do - to buy the book. In fact, I am being frequently prodded by both friends and strangers to write an online text of essentially the same type (especially the information in Chapters VIII - XII which is quite useful to operators of the instruments).
The PDF document available here (2540 kB) has been put together from my last draft, so it is not necessarily identical with the published text. However, it contains all the information and the original photos and graphs. People with broader interests in variable field MR relaxometry should definitely buy the whole book, though, since it contains also eight more Reviews written by foremost authorities in the field and covers areas well beyond the titles of the Series and of the particular volume (Relaxometry of water - metal ion interactions). The Reviews are:
- D.Canet,
Introduction: General Theory of Nuclear Relaxation
- J.Kowalewski, D.Kruk and G.Parigi,
NMR Relaxation in Solution of Paramagnetic Complexes: Recent Theoretical Progress for S=1
- I.Bertini, C.Luchinat and G.Parigi,
1H NMRD Profiles of Paramagnetic Complexes and Metalloproteins
- S.Aime, M.Botta and E.Terreno,
Gd(III)-based Contrast Agents for MRI
- R.N.Muller, L.Vander Elst, A.Roch, J.A.Peters, E.Csajbok, P.Gillis and Y.Gossuin,
Relaxation by Metal-Containing Nanosystems
- J-P.Korb and R.G.Bryant,
Magnetic Relaxation Dispersion in Porous and Dynamically Heterogeneous Materials
- L.Helm, G.M.Nicolle and A.E.Merbach,
Water and Proton Exchange Processes on Metal Ions
- J.F.Desreux,
Nuclear Magnetic Relaxation Studies on Actinide Ions and Models of Actinide Complexes
