Abstract

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is now such an enormous subject that only a simplified account of some selected topics can be given here. A semi-classical vector model of the nuclear magnetism will be sufficient for our purposes but a complete account of NMR requires the density matrix of quantum mechanics. The standard texts [1,2] provide the detailed derivation of the basic equations and more specialised topics are discussed in [3–11]. The emphasis of this chapter is on the NMR of metals, although the early sections are quite general. The high resolution NMR of liquids, a topic of enormous importance in chemistry and biology, is only mentioned in passing.
