Prof. Jair C. C. Freitas

Detailed course information (in Portuguese).

I. Program:

1) Introduction to NMR:  Nuclear paramagnetism; the NMR phenomenon; pulses, FIDs, echoes and relaxation; NMR spectroscopy; basic instrumentation.

2) Relaxation: Longitudinal relaxation; transverse relaxation; measurements of relaxation times; relaxometry; applications in low-field NMR.

3) Nuclear spin interactions: Magnetic interactions; electric interactions; homogeneous and inomogeneous interactions; anisotropy of the interactions in solids; hyperfine interactions and magnetic materials.

4) High-resolution solid-state techniques: magic angle spinning; high-power decoupling; cross polarization; 2D methods in solids.

5) Applications of solid-state NMR: glasses and other disordered materials; polymers; carbon materials; magnetic materials; other materials.

6) Laboratory activities involving solid-state NMR experiments.
