Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has proved to be a uniquely powerful and versatile tool for analyzing and characterizing chemicals and materials of all kinds. This book focuses on the latest developments and applications for "solid-state" NMR, which has found new uses from biochemistry to crystallography to biomaterials research. The book will provide materials engineers, analytical chemists, and physicists, in and out of lab, a survey of the techniques and the essential tools of solid-state NMR, together with a practical guide on applications. In this concise introduction to the growing field of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy The reader will find:

  • Basic NMR concepts for solids, including guidance on the spin-1/2 nuclei concept Coverage of the quantum mechanics aspects of solid state NMR and an introduction to the concept of quadrupolar nuclei
  • An understanding relaxation, exchange and quantitation in NMR
  • An analysis and interpretation of NMR data, with examples from crystallography studies
  • Appendices covering spin properties of spin-1/2 nuclides as well as NMR simulation procedures
