Finding the correct frequency
In order to start looking for the optimum millimeter/microwave frequency, the variables below are important to know. Note that here the frequencies are given in GHz, as the frequency for 5 T fields will always be around 140 GHz.
- Electron Gyromagnetic Ratio: <math>\frac{\gamma_e}{2\pi}=28.024~951~6~\mathrm{GHz/T}</math>
- Proton Gyromagnetic Ratio: <math>\frac{\gamma_p}{2\pi}=0.042~577~478~92~\mathrm{GHz/T}</math>
- Deuteron Gyromagnetic Ratio: <math>\frac{\gamma_D}{2\pi}=0.006~535~902~311~\mathrm{GHz/T}</math>
In order to find both the ideal mm-wave and NMR frequencies, some combination of the above numbers are multiplied by the magnetic field strength <math>B</math> in T. This gives the particle's Larmor frequency, <math>\nu_i = \frac{\gamma_i}{2\pi}B</math>, that is used in the descriptions below.
