Abstract

Restricted diffusion of fluids in porous materials can be studied by pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) non-invasively and without tracers. If the experiment is repeated many times with varying diffusion delays, detailed information about pore sizes and tortuosity can be recorded. However, the measurements are very time-consuming because numerous repetitions are needed for gradient ramping and varying diffusion delays. In this paper, we demonstrate two different strategies for acceleration of the restricted diffusion NMR measurements: time-resolved diffusion NMR and ultrafast Laplace NMR. The former is based on time-resolved non-uniform sampling, while the latter relies on spatial encoding of two-dimensional data. Both techniques allow similar 1-2 order of magnitude acceleration of acquisition, but they have different strengths and weaknesses, which we discuss in detail. The feasibility of the methods was proven by investigating restricted diffusion of water inside tracheid cells of thermally modified pine wood.
