766666S NMR spectroscopy (10 cr)
Cooperation network course
Network: FysNet - Physics Education Network
Available for: Doctoral studies, Master's students, Bachelor's students and Bachelor's and Master's students
This course is offered through the Network for FYSNET. These studies are available for bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree students studying in the Faculty of Mathematics and Science and the Faculty of Information Technology.
Description
NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy is a versatile tool for studying the physical properties of all states of matter. It makes possible, for example, the determination of molecular structures, even those of biological macromolecules, other molecular properties and the study of their dynamics. The most well-known application of NMR phenomenon is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).During the course, students get familiar with the basics of NMR spectroscopy, the interactions affecting the structure of NMR spectra and the principles of a spectrometer. Modern NMR allows the manipulation of nuclear spins applying various pulse sequences, and pulse sequences related to,e.g., polarization transfer will be treated as well as the basics of multidimensional NMR.
Learning outcomes
After completion, student understands the physical basis of NMR phenomenon and realizes the potential of NMR spectroscopy in the studies of molecular and materials properties.
