The Physical Basis of the
NMR Experiment:
•Nuclear magnetic resonance, or NMR as it is abbreviated by
scientists, is a phenomenon which occurs when the nuclei of certain atoms
are immersed
in a static strong magnetic field and exposed to a second oscillating magnetic
field in the form of radiofrequency pulses, it is possible to transfer energy
into the spin system and change the state of the system. After the pulse, the
system relaxes
back to its state of equilibrium, sending a weak signal that can be recorded.
