Course description

Topics: magnetic interactions in solids, their effects on NMR spectra and their description by irreducible spherical tensors. Homo- and heteronuclear decoupling and recoupling methods. Magnetic interactions at magic angle spinning. The theory and practical hints of the cross-polarization experiments. Experimental aspects of the measurement of half integer spin nuclei by DAS, DOR, MQMAS and STMAS techniques. The theoretical limitation of the measurement of integer spin nuclei. Correlation 2D experiments in solids.
