ABSTRACT
Necessary conditions for measuring intracrystalline diffusion in small crystal size systems via field-gradient NMR are discussed. As an illustrative case self-diffusion coefficients of water adsorbed in NaA zeolites (average crystal diameter about 1 microm) have been measured by 1H-NMR stimulated echoes in static magnetic field gradients of up to 180 T/m in the temperature range of 254-344 K. Obtaining intracrystalline diffusion coefficients necessitates a sufficiently high spatial resolution only provided by such large field gradients.
