Abstract

This paper presents the results of the investigation of the hydration of alkali-activated slag (AAS) by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The cross-polarization (CP) technique was used in combination with magic-angle spinning (MAS). This research was part of a systematic study of alkaline activation of slag by several different techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with X-ray microanalysis of energy dispersive spectra (EDS), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and calorimetry. This NMR study provides information on the polymerization of silicates, the role of aluminates in cement hydration and the nanostructure of C-S-H gel. © 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, most commonly known as NMR spectroscopy or magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), is a spectroscopic technique to observe local magnetic fields around atomic nuclei. This spectroscopy is based on the measurement of absorption of electromagnetic radiations in the radio frequency region from roughly 4 to 900 MHz. Absorption of radio waves in the presence of magnetic field is accompanied by a special type of nuclear transition, and for this reason, such type of spectroscopy is known as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.

Nuclear magnetic resonance

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a physical phenomenon in which nuclei in a strong constant magnetic field are perturbed by a weak oscillating magnetic field (in the near field) and respond by producing an electromagnetic signal with a frequency characteristic of the magnetic field at the nucleus. This process occurs near resonance, when the oscillation frequency matches the intrinsic frequency of the nuclei, which depends on the strength of the static magnetic field, the chemical environment, and the magnetic properties of the isotope involved; in practical applications with static magnetic fields up to ca.

X-ray spectroscopy

X-ray spectroscopy is a general term for several spectroscopic techniques for characterization of materials by using x-ray radiation. When an electron from the inner shell of an atom is excited by the energy of a photon, it moves to a higher energy level. When it returns to the low energy level, the energy which it previously gained by the excitation is emitted as a photon which has a wavelength that is characteristic for the element (there could be several characteristic wavelengths per element).
