    摘要: A method for improving the magnetic resonance imaging contrast of a selected portion of a sample. A selected ferrimagnetic constituent is associated with the sample portion, by molecular or biological attachment or by some other means, so that the sample portion is distinguished from other adjacent portions of the sample that do not have the selected ferrimagnetic constituent associated therewith. Alternatively, the sample portion is suspected, but not yet confirmed, to have the selected ferrimagnetic constituent associated with it. Ferromagnetic resonance imaging is performed on the sample portion, and at least one resonance frequency ω0 of the sample portion is provided. At least one material parameter of the sample portion is measured at or near the frequency ω0, with enhanced imaging contrast relative to adjacent portions of the sample that do not have the selected ferrimagnetic constituent in association. Alternatively, the measured value is compared with a corresponding reference value for the selected ferrimagnetic constituent. If (and only if) the measured and corresponding reference values substantially agree, the selected ferrimagnetic constituent is present in association with the selected sample portion. Other parameters of the selected ferrimagnetic consituent can also be measured.

    摘要: Methods for spatially resolve spin resonance detection in a sample of material, with a resolution as small as 0.5 &mgr;m-1 mm. In one embodiment, a coupler having at least one pair of degenerate orthogonal modes provides an evanescent input signal along one coupler axis to the sample, to which a magnetic field is applied, and senses a spin interaction signal along another coupler axis. In another embodiment, an evanescent input signal is applied to the sample along one of two identical transmission line resonators, and a difference of the two resonator signals provides a spin interaction signal. In another embodiment, a polarized laser beam provides an evanescent input signal to the sample, and the spin interaction signal is sensed according to a second beam polarization direction. Certain ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic molecules, such as YIG, can be used to tag selected chemical and biological molecules, using spatially resolved spin resonance detection for interrogation.

    摘要: In a magnetically-tunable resonator, a wave-guiding structure comprising an electromagnetic frequency filter, or component of such a filter, is placed in sufficient proximity with a magnetic structure so as to be gyromagnetically coupled therewith. The resonator is supportable of two fundamental normal modes of propagation which, in the absence of magnetic interaction are even and odd with respect to the resonator center plane of symmetry. Each normal mode possesses a spectrum of resonance frequencies. When the magnetic structure is magnetized, the formerly even and odd modes become mixed due to gyromagnetic interaction, and the resulting wave fields become elliptically polarized. With appropriate design such that the identities of the modes are preserved under conditions of resonance, this in turn results in a nonreciprocal reinforcement action in the resonator, which leads to the desired shift in resonance frequency in at least one of the two normal modes. The device is especially attractive to application in miniaturized planar microwave devices, for example MMICs, in conferring small size and weight, simplicity of structure, low power required for tuning, capability of fixed, continuous or digitally-stepped frequencies, and low-loss high-Q performance; applicable with superconducting or conventional metallic conductors.

    摘要: An apparatus and method are described for gyromagnetic interaction between the electromagnetic field generated by an electromagnetic signal conducted by a superconductor and the magnetization contained in a magnetic structure. A ferrite magnetic structure is disposed in close proximity to a superconductor conducting the electromagnetic signal. A magnetization is induced in the magnetic structure with a geometry such that the magnetic flux is confined within the magnetic structure or eliminated from the magnetic structure so as not to produce an external magnetic field to interfere with the superconducting properties of the superconductor. The electromagnetic field of the signal conducted by the superconductor interacts gyromagnetically with the magnetization of the magnetic structure, inducing a phase shift in the electromagnetic signal traversing the superconductor. Thus, the invention induces a phase shift in the signal with minimum insertion loss due to electrical resistance.
