What Does STMAS Stand For?

STMAS stands for Satellite Transition Magic Angle Spinning

STMAS, or Satellite Transition Magic Angle Spinning, is a technique utilized in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It enhances the resolution and sensitivity of NMR spectra by aligning the sample at a specific angle to the magnetic field, minimizing anisotropic interactions. This method is particularly effective for studying the structure and dynamics of solid materials and biological macromolecules. By facilitating the observation of satellite transitions, STMAS provides valuable insights into complex systems that may be challenging to analyze using conventional NMR methods.
