Development of the First Optically Detected Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (ODNMR) Apparatus for Actinide Studies

We have built a state-of-the-art laser optical apparatus to enable us to explore f-element energy level structures at energies ranging from nuclear magnetic resonances as low as 10-9eV (0.2 MHz) to interconfigurational electronic transitions at a few eV (109 MHz). This apparatus incorporates electronic circuits designed by us, direct digital synthesis of radio frequencies, static magnetic fields as high as 5 tesla, and broadly tunable, single-frequency laser excitation. This system was designed to carry out optically detected nuclear magnetic resonance studies and is cited for use with actinide compounds that contain high levels of alpha-emitting isotopes.
