Abstract

The two-frequency nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) of14N nuclei is described for purposes of explosives detection. Two applications are known: two-frequency NQR for increasing the signal intensity, two-frequency NQR for improved reliability of explosives detection. The two-frequency experiments were carried out in hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-s-triazine C3H6N6O6 and sodium nitrite NaNO2 as a substitute for octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocycine C4H8N8O8. The two-frequency sequences for NQR are proposed for increasing the amplitude of NQR signal and improvement of detection condition.
