Short summary
This paper analyzes a commonly used line-narrowing mechanism (homonuclear decoupling) in solid-state NMR and discusses what limits the achievable line width. Based on theoretical considerations, the contribution of different effects to the line width is discussed and a new contributing term is identified. This research allows us to evaluate new ways to improve the line width in such homonuclear decoupled spectra.
