We experimentally verify a method of extracting the surface-to-volume ratio (S/(V)) of porous media with diffusion NMR. In contrast to the widely used pulsed field gradient (PFG) technique, which employs the stimulated echo coherence pathway, we use here the direct Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) path. Even for high echoes, which exhibit ample attenuation due to diffusion in the field gradient, the relevant ruler length for the direct pathway is fixed by the diffusion length during a single inter-pulse spacing. The direct path, therefore, is well suited for probing shorter length scales than is possible with the conventional approach. In our experiments in a low-field static-gradient system, the direct CPMG pathway was found to be sensitive to structure an order of magnitude smaller than accessible with the stimulated-echo pathway.
