Abstract
A method of measuring precessing magnetization includes providing a first site characterized by a first spin order and providing a second site. The method also includes transferring a portion of the first spin order from the first site to the second site. The second site is characterized by a second spin order orthogonal to the first spin order. The method further includes exposing a sample including the first site and the second site to a magnetic field, measuring a precessing magnetization of at least one of the first site or the second site, repeating the transferring a portion of the first spin order from the first site to the second site, and repeating the measuring of the precessing magnetization.
