Description
Jennifer Steinadler, Christian Minke, and Thomas Bräuniger record boron NMR spectra from a single crystal of the mineral hambergite, in 2026. They used the less common isotope boron-10, whose spin of three splits its signal into three doublets per boron site. Rotating the crystal changed the spectra in a controlled way.
Extracted chemical shift and electric field gradient values matched an earlier boron-11 study of the same crystal closely. Line widths confirmed a long held idea: boron-10 gives cleaner resolution because its weaker magnetism shrinks line broadening from neighbors. Single crystal work sharpens parameters that powder samples blur.
