Publisher's Synopsis
Solid state nuclear magnetic resonance now offers a wide variety of methods for characterization of materials of different compositions over a wide range of experimental conditions (temperatures, pressures, etc.) Both simple and sophisticated pulse sequences enable one to selectively probe and quantify physical properties of interest. This book mainly dwells on the practical aspects of selected topics and uses a largely non-mathematical, although extensively referenced, approach to the introduction of solid state NMR concepts. Chapter 1: Principles of Solid State NMR Chapter 2: Introduction to Pulse Sequences Chapter 3: Decoupling Chapter 4: Quantitative Analysis Chapter 5: Artifacts Chapter 6: Line Broadening Mechanisms Chapter 7: Resolution Enhancement Chapter 8: Variable Temperature
