Spin echo is a very common method in NMR experiments, but there are still some details that confuse me during solid-state NMR experiments, and I hope to get some help. My questions are:

  • When using spin echo, does the recycle delay strictly need to follow the 5xT1 rule, or can T1 be shortened appropriately to get a better signal-to-noise ratio?
  • When should rotor-synchronized spin echo be used? What details should be noted?
  • How is a better background signal typically achieved with spin echo? Should the echo time τ be extended?
  • Additionally, I observed a phenomenon during my experiment. When I performed a 1H echo experiment on ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) at a spinning rate of 50kHz, I found that a good signal could be observed with a single scan, but after every four scans, the signal became much weaker. Could you tell me what might be causing this issue? My phase cycling is shown in the figure.
