Does vibrating an NMR sample produce the same benefits and artifacts as spinning an NMR sample? Does vibrating an NMR sample produce the same benefits and artifacts as spinning an NMR sample?  Are there "vibration sidebands" above the C13 satellites and is there a line thinning effect on the sample spectrum?  Please list any references that you may have read or seen.

Thank You
When you spin a sample you make sure that orientation effects are averaged faster than the relaxation time. This holds true if you spin a sample at 8 s^-1 and H1 relaxes at 1 s^-1. Now, wobbling (aka shaking) will keep orientation of the molecules for the most part (unless it creates spinning motion in the solution). It will change several %, but the general direction will be the same. So, no, shaking will not do the molecule averaging like spinning does.

Btw, why do we spin samples. I mean, if the tube is half decent and you spend 5 minutes on shimming you get about as good of a result. All spinning does is hiding poor XY shims by averaging them.
