Topic |
NMR and ESR |
|
Summary |
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is an important method of investigating molecular structures and interatomic bonding in crystalline and non-crystalline structures. NMR is based on the magnetic properties of the atom nucleus. It is very important in advanced medical imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) is an important method for the investigation of molecular and crystal structures. Using the apparatus, the properties of an organic compound DPPH are determined. This session covers basic experimental techniques associated with NMR and ESR which demonstrates how these can lead to applications in the development of sophisticated medical imaging apparatus. |
