An electrical circuit with one or more semiconductor components (10) is characterized in that at least one semiconductor junction of at least one of the semiconductor components of the electrical circuit is disposed such that the average direction of motion of the charge carriers in the semiconductor junction is essentially parallel to the lines of force of the magnetic field B0, wherein the corresponding semiconductor component is disposed directly on a substrate (12), which is made of a material with good thermal conduction properties. In this way, undistorted characteristics of the semiconductor component used can be ensured despite the very strong magnetic field and the low operating temperatures.

A coil system for a magnetic resonance tomography system includes a plurality of coils for sending and/or receiving high-frequency signals. The plurality of coils is disposed in a receiving chamber between a tomography magnet and a lining of an opening in the tomography magnet and may be cooled by a cooling apparatus. When the coil system is in an operating state, the receiving chamber is filled with a cryogenic cooling medium.

A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe circuit assembly includes one or more probe circuits in signal communication with one or more respective sample coils configured for transmitting and/or receiving radio-frequency (RF) energy to and/or from a sample of interest. One or more of the probe circuits have a suspended substrate configuration in which variable capacitors share a common dielectric substrate that is separated from a ground plane by an air gap. Each variable capacitor includes an electrode that is movable by a user-actuated adjusting device. One or more of the probe circuits may have a multiply resonant or broadband configuration, and may have one or more individual channels. One or more of the variable capacitors enable tuning to resonant frequencies of selected nuclei. One or more other variable capacitors may enable impedance matching.

All critical circuit components, including the sample coils, are located along with the spinner assembly in a region that may be evacuated to high vacuum for thermal insulation and high-voltage operation. A hermetically sealed spinner assembly simultaneously satisfies the requirements of hermeticity, low total emissivity, rf compatibility, spinning performance, magnetic compatibility, and high filling factor by utilizing metal construction except for the central region near the rf sample coils. Hence, it is possible to maintain high vacuum in the region external to the MAS spinner assembly even over a broad range of bearing and drive gas temperatures. A bundle of optical fibers is provided for tachometry for spin rates up to 60 kHz. The use of alumina disc capacitors allows the noise contributions from the most critical capacitors to be reduced to a minor fraction of the total and simplifies high voltage operation.

Systems and methods are described, and one method includes illuminating a target-of-interest (TI) with an RF energy configured to effect, over a time duration extending from a first time to a second time, an increase in a temperature of the TI. At a first detection time within the time duration, a first temperature NQR signal spectrum of the TI is detected, and a corresponding first temperature NQR spectrum data set is generates. At a second detection time, subsequent to the first detection time, a second temperature NQR signal spectrum of the TI is detected and corresponding second temperature NQR spectrum data set is output. Based at least in part on the first temperature NQR spectral dataset and the second temperature NQR spectral dataset, the TI is classified between including the SI and not including the SI.
