A propos de cet article

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has proved to be a uniquely powerful and versatile tool for analyzing and characterizing chemicals and materials of all kinds. This book focuses on the latest developments and applications for ""solid-state"" NMR, which has found new uses from archaeology to crystallography to biomaterials and pharmaceutical science research. The book will provide materials engineers, analytical chemists, and physicists, in and out of lab, a survey of the techniques and the essential tools of solid-state NMR, together with a practical guide on applications. In this concise introduction to the growing field of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy The reader will find: * Basic NMR concepts for solids, including guidance on the spin-1/2 nuclei concept * Coverage of the quantum mechanics aspects of solid state NMR and an introduction to the concept of quadrupolar nuclei * An understanding relaxation, exchange and quantitation in NMR * An analysis and interpretation of NMR data, with examples from crystallography studies * Appendices covering spin properties of spin-1/2 nuclides as well as NMR simulation procedures.

Synopsis

The power of nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR, for characterizing molecules dissolved in solution is widely acknowledged. However, the application of NMR to the solid state is much less well appreciated. This book sets out the fundamental principles of solid-state NMR, explaining how NMR in solids differs from that in solution, and showing how the various interactions of NMR can be manipulated to yield high-resolution spectra and to give information on local structure and dynamics in solids.

Solid State NMR aims to take some of the mystique out of solid-state NMR by providing a comprehensible discussion of the methodology involved, including the basic concepts and practical guidance on the implementation of the experiments. A basic knowledge of solution-state NMR is assumed and is only briefly covered.

This book will be a valuable introduction and reference both for students and practicing scientists, as well as for non-experts interested in learning how NMR can be usefully applied to solid systems. Detailed mathematical treatments are delayed to a chapter at the mid-point of the text and can be skipped. Introductions to experiments and numerical simulations are provided to help link NMR results to experimental practice.

The different aspects of solid-state NMR, from basic pulse-and-acquire experiments to sophisticated techniques for the measurement of anisotropy information are presented, with examples chosen to illustrate the wide variety of applications of the technique, as well as its complementarity to other solid-state characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction. Various aspects of NMR crystallography are covered as are topics of motion in solids.

À propos de l?auteur

David Apperley studied chemistry at the University of East Anglia, Norwich and gained a PhD for studies of dipolar coupling in solids from the Open University, Milton Keynes in 1986. He further developed his interest in solid-state NMR while working as a Senior Experimental Officer in the Durham Solid-state NMR Research Service, at first in the Industrial Research Laboratories, and now in the Department of Chemistry, Durham University.
