The following topics will be part of the curriculum:
Macrosopic magnetization, spectrometer hardware, Fourier-transformed spectroscopy, quantum mechanics of spin systems, relaxation effects, chemical exchange phenomena of spin labels, spatial encoding of NMR signals, contrast generation in NMR imaging, spin hyperpolarization, spin exchange optical pumping.
The lab course will include discussion of some calculus exercises as well as acquiring NMR spectra and images on a 9.4 T magnet (students with pacemakers or metal implants cannot participate in this part).
