Basic NMR Concepts

New users are expected to be familiar with these basic NMR concepts
before beginning the training process. Many educational links are
available through this web site here.
If you need assistance with this or have questions, please contact
facility personnel.

• Nuclear spin and resonance
• Vector model and rotating frame
• Superconducting magnet
• 90-degree pulse
• Basic pulse sequence nomenclature
• FID - free induction decay
• FT - Fourier transform
• Time vs. frequency domains
• Chemical shift (ppm vs. Hz)
• T1 - longitudinal relaxation
• T2 - transverse relaxation
• Deuterium lock
• Scalar coupling
• Simple 1-D proton interpretation
• General sensitivity of NMR
