I've recently encountered a problem with gradient shimming that has never happened to me before. I can't clearly determine what caused it but it certainly didn't involve anybody manipulating with the probe. Here's the symptom: when running the gmapz experiment, the Z-profiles (before and after gradient) look like this:
As you can see the second profile (after the gradient) is distorted at the left edge (more or less severely, depending on a sample - here it's just a tiny "step"). I assume it has something to do with the transverse shims - but I'm not really sure which of them I am supposed to modify. Maybe some of you have experienced this kind of behaviour?
Here's a shimmap I've made using 10% D2O:
I wonder if this distortion influences my gradient experiments (which use only axial gradient)? 2D spectra seem to be just fine but I'm afraid of the results from diffusion ordered experiments. I'll appreciate any help! Thank you in advance!

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] gradient shim map question
gradient shim map question
Does anyone know for sure if a shim map is off center slightly left in a negative direction...and I assume it is a centering issue do you whether it would be probe up/down?

shimming
Hello
Dose any one can estimate how are the results of shimming depend on the spectral character of the shim standard ? (for any NMR system)
For example using single peak vs 2 peak material such as water or xylene
Thanks
