Principles of Magnetic Resonance

From the reviews: "...one of the best expositions of the quantum theory of resonance in existence. It has my highest recommendation for use as a textbook." (Journal of the Optical Society of America). "The clarity and style in which the book is written reveals Slichter's research expertise and talend as an excellent teacher and expositor..." (Physics Today).

Texte du rabat

This is a textbook intended for graduate students who plan to work in nuclear magnetic resonance or electron spin resonance. The text describes the basic principles of magnetic resonance, steady-state and pulse methods, the theory of the width, shape and position of spectral absorption lines as well as the theory of relaxation times. It also introduces the density matrix. This third edition adds new material to many parts, plus new sections on one- and two-dimensional Fourier transform methods, multiple quantum coherence and magnetic resonance imaging.
