CMM: NMR spectroscopy

Day 1:
1. Basics: spins polarization, pulsed NMR, precession, FID signal and sensitivity, relaxation times
2. Technical details: function of a pulsed NMR spectrometer
3. Data acquisition and processing: Fourier trans-formation, phases and offsets, sampling issues
4. Afternoon lab: learn to apply the basics

Day 2:
5. Solid-state NMR: line broadening by anisotropic interactions,dipole-dipole couplings, dynamic averaging effects
6. (Pulsed) field gradients: imaging and diffusion
7. Afternoon lab: play with soft matter samples:
– qualitative molecular mobility by 1H low-field NMR
– learn how to use and calibrate gradients (1H low field)
– diffusion measurement in protein solutions (1H high field)

Registration is closed, but you can still join for the waiting list.
