•The dipole moment m of
the nucleus is described in quantum-mechanical
terms as
• m = g J
•Therein, J is the spin angular momentum and g the magnetogyric ratio of the spin. When looking at single
spins we have to use a quantum-mechanical
treatment.
•Therein, the z-component of the angular momentum J is quantitized and
can only take discrete values
•
•
•J is related to spin
quantum number of the nuclei I
•
-I,…,o,…,+I
