Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
This module provides an introduction to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). First the history of NMR will be briefly summarized; and for motivation examples of modern NMR applications in biomedical imaging and spectroscopy will be illustrated.
Within this course, the basic concepts of nuclear magnetic resonance will be introduced and their physical properties and implications will be discussed. These are e.g: nuclear spin, relaxation, interaction between spins, interaction between spins and electrons (chemical shift), diffusion, building block of NMR spectrometer, typical Fourier transform NMR experiments, emphasizing the application of these concepts and parameters in modern NMR.
Learning Outcome
After successful participation, the student will be able to
- describe the basic setup of an NMR spectrometer
understand the concepts of modern NMR, such as spin interactions, relaxation etc.
understand NMR experiments for estimation and calculation of such parameters
Preconditions
No special requirements exceeding the admission requirements for the MSc program
