Abstract

We present in this paper some examples of the applications of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) ofxenon used as a probe in the study of different chemical environments: determination of the porosity of micro-and mesoporous solids, evaluation of the concentrations and sizes of amorphous domains in solid polymers,characterization of liquid crystals, study of combustion processes at high temperature, determination of thestructure and dynamics of organic systems and proteins in solution, assessment of cerebral blood flow
