Optimization of a parallel‐plate <scp>RF</scp> probe for high resolution thin film imaging
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Choosing an MR probe with the correct dimensions and high sensitivity is critical for magnetic resonance imaging, especially high resolution thin film imaging. In this work, a parallel‐plate resonator has been optimized for strength and uniformity of the B1 magnetic field. The parallel‐plate resonator is designed for high resolution imaging in the direction perpendicular to the plates. The optimization process was undertaken through simulation with CST Micro Wave Studio, followed by experiment. A 400 μm capillary tube, filled with doped water, was used for testing the optimized probe in a 2.4 T magnet. It is shown that increasing the width of the copper leads connected to the plates increases the homogeneity of the B1 magnetic field by almost 90%. The best approach to increase the sensitivity and the homogeneity of the probe was to maintain the dimensions of the plates and copper leads but to add additional capacitors at the corners to distribute the current. This approach produces a 40% stronger B1 magnetic field and increases the homogeneity by almost 85%. The experimental B1 magnetic field of the parallel‐plate prototype agrees within 20% of the value found through simulation, for specified power. The experimental MRI results show that it is possible to achieve a nominal resolution of 10 μm between the plates for suitable samples using the optimized probe. The optimized parallel‐plate resonator, combined with a phase encode SE SPI method, may be used for high resolution studies of lithium‐ion transport in the electrolyte solution of lithium‐ion batteries.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
