The intention of this book was, therefore, two-fold—to report the recent
advances and to enlighten the diversification and broadening of the fields of
application.
The chapters included in this book were written by experts in the different
Published on 12 December 2016 on http://pubs.rsc.org | doi:10.1039/9781782623779-FP005
sub-fields of NMR and porous media research, both from academia and
industry. They represent, therefore, a balanced selection between funda-
mentals and applications. All fundamental phenomena discussed are
contained in several chapters with increasing complexity, making it thus
especially useful for undergraduate and postgraduate studies. At the same
time, the collection of chapters presents the state-of-art, reporting on the
forefront of active research and indicating the perspective areas for future
research. Thus, it will also be useful as a reference book for active scientists.
I would like to mention that the preparation of this book was inspired
by the success of the ongoing Bologna Conference series on Magnetic
Resonance in Porous Media. For many years it has provided and continues to
provide an excellent framework for promoting this area of research, for
exchanging ideas, and for attracting and supporting talented students.
I am very thankful to the Royal Society of Chemistry and its editors for
proposing us to edit this book within the series ‘‘New Developments in
NMR’’ and to coordinate the editorial work from Leipzig. In fact, Leipzig has
very intimate links with most of the phenomena discussed throughout this
book. Thus, being famous for its publishing industry, it is no surprise that
the breakthrough papers on diffusion from Fick, Einstein, and Knudsen first
appeared in the Annalen der Physik (und Chemie) published in Leipzig. The
development of the ideas of nuclear magnetism by Felix Bloch started, in
some way, at the University of Leipzig during his doctorate with Werner
Heisenberg and continued and developed to a vibrant research landscape of
NMR across many disciplines. It comes therefore as a fortunate coincidence
that this book is published on the same year with the establishment of the
Felix Bloch Institute at the University of Leipzig, memorizing his contri-
butions to physics in general, and to NMR, in particular.

times of bulk oil and water (10 times larger for water than for oil) to dis-
tinguish their signals. Since water and oil have about the same 1H nuclei
density, the fraction of water and oil could have been determined by their
signal ratio and the porosity of the rock formation by the total signal, and all

of about 12 ms. Studies on the determination of water and oil when both
phases are present in the pore space led also to the proposals of NMR
estimates of the residual oil saturation.33 Permeability estimates from
relaxation data were developed by Seevers34 and by Timur32 and later by

diffusometry, this helix is temporarily and partially converted to a si-
nusoidal modulation of the longitudinal magnetization along the gradient
axis with just the ‘wavelength’ attributed to the relevant wavenumber.
There is even more to it than that. The phenomena most characteristic for

waves are scattering and diffraction. As shown in ref. 76, there is a formal
coincidence of the diffusive echo-attenuation function with the incoherent
dynamic structure factor defined for scattering experiments. That is, field-
gradient NMR diffusometry extends the accessible wavenumber range of
quasi-elastic neutron scattering, for instance. Entirely distinct techniques for
studies of molecular dynamics can thus be combined in a most favorable
way as extensively outlined in ref. 77.
The second and most striking finding in this context is that diffraction
patterns can be observed in diffusion experiments. Callaghan et al.78 dem-
onstrated that exactly the same intensity patterns as in optical diffraction
experiments appear for echo attenuation when the field-gradient induced
‘wavelength’ matches structural lengths of a confining matrix such as a
porous medium. The relevant length scale is usually in the order of a
few micrometers. Striking applications of this kind of ‘NMR diffusion
diffraction’ to aqueous erythrocyte suspensions have been reported by
Kuchel et al.79
In terms of wavenumbers, the determination of very low diffusion co-
efficients with field-gradient techniques requires as large values as possible.
An optimal efficiency in this respect can be achieved by using firstly steady
instead of pulsed gradients, secondly the stimulated-echo variant, and thirdly
the particularly strong and stable gradients of the fringe field of super-
conducting magnets80 (see also Chapter 8). With such a set-up it was even
possible to reach the ultimate physical low-end limit of any field-gradient
NMR diffusometry measurement, namely immaterial spin-diffusion medi-
ated by flip-flop spin transitions. The direct assessment of this limiting spin-
diffusion coefficient was reported in ref. 81 for polymers.
A further result obtained with the fringe-field NMR technique is the
evaluation of the before mentioned incoherent dynamic structure factor for
polymers diffusing in nanoporous matrices. Referring to the well-known
tube/reptation concept,82 it was shown that the echo attenuation function is
non-Gaussian in this case.83 It depends on the pore diameter in a charac-
teristic way. That is, pore diameters have consistently been determined with
the aid of diffusion experiments.84 Remarkably, these results exceed the
diffusion time and wavenumber ranges accessible by quasi-elastic neutron
scattering by far.
Fluid transport through porous media can be mediated by molecular
diffusion, hydrodynamic flow, and—between these two extremes—by
hydrodynamic (or Taylor/Aris) dispersion. The latter contains elements both
of potentially tortuous but coherent flow, and diffusive displacements in a
superimposed manner.85
It has long been predicted that the incoherent part of displacements
should be sub-diffusive if diffusion prevails and super-diffusive in cases

into two power blocks, and to the beneficial influence of science ensuring
mutual contacts even across the ‘‘iron curtain’’. It was the existence of these
contacts which, eventually, accelerated and facilitated the re-establishment
of unlimited international exchange after the fall of the Berlin Wall. This is

particularly true with the field of MRPM. At the end of the 1980s the number
of groups working on NMR for porous media independently and, as a rule,
by very different routes attained such a level that the time was ripe for a
direct exchange of their experiments and ideas, as stated by the organizers in
the proceedings of the first conference on MRPM.106 In 1988 the idea came
out to organize an international meeting on NMR in porous media. The
meeting took place in 1990, devoted to the progress in magnetic resonance
in porous media and in understanding porous media themselves and on
the behavior of fluids inside. It was also an opportunity to stimulate contacts
among researchers from various parts of academia and industry. The
Bologna meeting was the first of a long series that continues today, as
summarized in the Table 1.2.
The seventh conference was the first one without Giulio Cesare Borgia, the
co-founder and promoter of these conferences, who died unexpectedly in
September 2002. The seventh conference was an important event from the
point of view of the future of the MRPM community and of this conference
series. The growing vitality and interest in these conferences and the con-
sideration that the community, which the conference series served
had grown considerably covering all continents, discussed how the future
of these meetings would be assured; it was decided that the community
would join the Groupement Ampere as the MRPM Division. The conferences,
which are now explicitly called the ‘‘Bologna MRPM Conferences,’’ became
Ampere Events and, in commemoration of the co-founder and promoter,
the ‘‘Giulio Cesare Borgia Award for Young Researchers’’ was established.
Thus, it is by far not incidental to find some of these awardees, notably
Denis S. Grebenkov, Jonathan Mitchell and Rustem Valiullin, among the
contributors to this book.
