• Course Description

A course dealing with the quantum and classical description of the nuclear magnetic resonance of an isolated system of two spin-1/2 nuclei. The deisgn of pulsed NMR spectrometers and the Fourier analysis of time-dependent observable magnetization in 1 and 2 dimensions are treated in detail, NMR relaxation in liquids and solids is included phenomenologically. Preq: Physical Chemistry or permission of instructuor. 3 Units
