Spin dynamics

by Malcolm H. Levitt

NMR spectroscopy is one of the most important and widely used techniques for the identification of compounds. Based on an established course this core text offers a truly modern and updated approach. Provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject Includes a multi-disciplinary approach, concentrating on basic principles and concepts. Contains chapters of worked examples and problems to encourage a fuller understanding of topics. Offers a pedagogical approach, starting with quarks and nucleons, and moving on to cover NMR imaging, COSY (Correlated Spectroscopy) and NOESY (Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy). As a core subject in many science disciplines, this text will appeal to a wide range of students, as well as practising scientists and technicians. Assuming only a basic knowledge of complex numbers and matrices, it carefully and lucidly aids readers to fully understand this challenging subject.
