Precision Solid-State NMR for Complex Materials

The Avance NEO 200 MHz Wide-Bore (WB) System is Bruker’s dedicated solution for solid-state NMR of paramagnetic materials. By combining a 4.7 T magnet with a 1.3 mm CPMAS probe capable of spinning up to 67 kHz, the system delivers optimum spectral resolution for paramagnetic solids, enabling researchers to resolve isotropic environments and study structural and dynamic features that are often obscured at higher fields.

This system is designed for academic and industry researchers working with complex solids, offering flexibility for a wide range of applications including structural characterization, ion dynamics, and operando studies.

Research Applications

A Platform for Multidimensional Materials Research

The 200 MHz WB system supports a wide range of solid-state NMR applications, particularly where paramagnetic species complicate spectral interpretation. Its low-field strength and fast MAS capabilities make it a powerful tool for resolving fine structural and dynamic details.

Paramagnetic Materials Characterization

Resolve broadened or shifted NMR signals in paramagnetic samples. The 200 MHz field reduces hyperfine interactions, enabling detailed analysis of atom distribution, local environments, and phase transitions.

Dynamic Studies in Solid-State Electrolytes

Perform relaxometry and diffusion measurements to investigate ion mobility, activation energies, and hopping rates—critical for understanding conductivity and performance.

Operando and In-Situ NMR

Compatible with ePROBE operando cells, the system supports real-time monitoring of electrochemical processes in batteries, including redox mechanisms and structural degradation.

Microimaging
Optional microimaging accessories enable spatially resolved analysis, even in operando, with minimized susceptibility artifacts—ideal for advanced materials research.
