21. Magnetization was sampled with a single scan at 110.6 MHz, using a Bruker Avance DSX-400 spectrometer. The sample was kept frozen in a liquid nitrogen dewar that fit inside a 15 mm saddle coil. A 1 μs pulse was used. The depletion of the magnetization by the pulse was too small to determine using repeated single scans.
