The used instrument is a home built Earth’s field NMR (EFNMR)device (Goedecke [1993]) that is slightly modified for those applications. The EFNMR device isequipped with some unique features such as first order gradiometer polarization and detectioncoils, shimming coils and a shielding box that make it possible to directly derive the relaxationtimes from the Free Induction Decay (FID) signal inside a laboratory building with a signalto noise ratio of about 100. The strength of the Earth’s magnetic field is about 50 μT,corresponding with Larmor frequencies of about 2 kHz. The experimental setup applying themeasurement method of Packard and Varian [1954] using pre-polarization, compensates forthe inherent low signal to noise ratio of NMR in the Earth’s magnetic field. By the use ofthe field-cycling technique, the EFNMR device is also capable of measuring the longitudinalrelaxation time at frequencies from 3 kHz up to 3 MHz.
