The aim of this paper is to provide a control-theoretical analysis of the problem of suppressing this radiation damping. It is shown that the two feedback schemes commonly used in the NMR practice correspond one to a high gain oputput feedback for the simple case of maintaining the spin 1/2 in its inverted state, and the second to a 2-degree of freedom control design with a prefeedback that exactly cancels the radiation damping field. A general high gain feedback stabilization design not requiring the knowledge of the radiation damping time constant is also investigated.}, doi = {10.1016/j.sysconle.2010.09.004}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/1963/4384}, author = {Claudio Altafini and Paola Cappellaro and David Cory} }
