Broadband excitation in solid-state NMR using interleaved DANTE pulse trains with N pulses per rotor period.

Highlights: [•] DANTE 1D excitation in solids works better under ultra-fast MAS. [•] Paramagnetic samples can be excited with weak rf-field. [•] Integer-spin quadrupolar nuclei, such as 14N, can be manipulated with DANTE. [•] Overtone DANTE can be used for 90° excitation, not for 180° inversion. [•] Overtone DANTE works well for excitation of large quadrupole interaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
