Focuses on magnetic resonance methods for characterizing solid carbonaceous fuels. Covers 2-D methods, high-resolution 13C and 1H NMR (CRAMPS) analyses, dynamic nuclear polarization techniques, temperature-dependent relaxation measurements, chemical methods to improve quantitative reliability, ultrafast MAS methods, and new signal enhancement techniques. Discusses topics of current interest in the areas of ESR, including spin-echo methods, 1-D and 2-D pulses EST techniques, relaxation time measurements, and ultrahigh frequency measurements. Measurements are made on a set of Argonne Premium Coal samples to compare different magnetic resonance techniques on a homogeneous set of carbonaceous fuel samples.
