Abstract
We have derived a closed-form expression for the solid echo signal of quadrupolar I = 1 nuclei after the pulse sequence (theta(1))(x) tau-(theta(2))(y)-t for arbitrary values of the RF nutation frequency omega(1) = gamma B-1 and the quadrupolar frequency omega(Q). In the case of single crystals both the true echo term of this expression and its induction-signal-like terms are important as shown by experiments on N-14 nuclei in NH4ClO4 crystal. Conditions for obtaining the maximal echo in powder samples are presented, A very low B-1 field together with long RF pulses may distort even the central part of the spectrum, resulting in strange looking apparent spectra.
