Abstract:
1. A magnet array suitable for use in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal transduction, comprising: (a) two separated magnets, magnetized along a substantially same magnetization direction, each of the two separated magnets aligned such that one pole in one magnet is facing another pole so as to define an axis in the separation between the two magnets, the two separated magnets producing a field with a local maximum which is substantially parallel to the magnetization direction of the two separated magnets, the local maximum positioned between the two separated magnets and offset from the axis in a direction perpendicular to the axis; and (b) a third magnet, magnetized along the substantially same magnetization direction of the two separated magnets, the third magnet positioned in the separation between the two separated magnets, the third magnet aligned to have each one of its poles facing one pole of the two separated magnets.
