Spin Echo Self-Diffusion Measurements in Molten Salts

Abstract

An NMR probe head for diffusion measurements in molten salts at temperatures up to 673 K is described. The spin echo technique using pulsed magnetic field gradients was employed. Resulting self-diffusion coefficients of Na+ in molten NaNO3 in the temperature range 596-670 K are compa­red with literature data obtained by other methods.
