Claim 0:
1. A method for adjusting a net magnetic field at a target region using a magnet system in a nuclear magnetic resonance (“NMR”) apparatus, the method comprising:
selecting the target region in space external to the magnet system; and
generating, with the magnet system, a net magnetic field at the target region,
wherein the magnet system comprises:
a first magnet;
a second magnet; and
a backplane;

the first magnet having:
a distal surface;
a proximal surface opposite the distal surface;
a first lateral surface abutting the proximal and distal surfaces;
a second lateral surface abutting the proximal and distal surfaces and opposite to the first lateral surface;
a third lateral surface abutting the proximal and distal surfaces and adjacent to the first and second lateral surfaces; and
a fourth lateral surface abutting the proximal and distal surfaces and opposite to the third lateral surface;
the distal, proximal, first, second, third, and fourth surfaces conjoining to enclose an interior portion of the first magnet;
the second magnet having:
a distal surface;
a proximal surface opposite the distal surface;
a first lateral surface abutting the proximal and distal surfaces;
a second lateral surface abutting the proximal and distal surfaces and opposite to the first lateral surface;
a third lateral surface abutting the proximal and distal surfaces and adjacent to the first and second lateral surfaces; and
a fourth lateral surface abutting the proximal and distal surfaces and opposite to the third lateral surface;
the distal, proximal, first, second, third, and fourth surfaces conjoining to enclose an interior portion of the second magnet; and
wherein the first magnet is located at a first position and the second magnet is located at a second position, such that a first gap is produced between the first magnet and the second magnet.
