Abstract

A method of NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) excitation of a sample having a magnetic moment, including, applying a longitudinal magnetic field to the sample; and changing the magnetic moment in a substantially continuous manner by moving an effective magnetic-field vector &ohgr;e more than 90°, wherein for all portions of the sample in which the moment is changed, the angular velocity of the effective field vector at at least one angle, 90°+&agr;, is different from the angular velocity at 90°−&agr;.
