NMR Relaxation Essay
by Mattia Negroni
A small collection of information about NMR relaxation theory with step-by-step equations and explanation. Including a vast bibliography and an uniform symbolism system. The latest version include:
-NMR and EPR Hamiltonians (Zeeman, J-coupling, Dipolar Coupling, Chemical Shift Anisotropy, Quadrupolar, Curie Spin, Tunneling)
-Redfield relaxation theory
-Spectral density origin and meaning
-Solomon model with application
-Kubo-Tomita equation
-T1-rho and T2-rho
-McLachlan Generalized Quadrupolar Relaxation
-Exchange theory
-Field Sweep
-Solid state
-Spin Temperature (Provotorov equations, Adiabatic Demagnetization and Remagnetization)
-RF pulses (rotating frame, tilted frame, shaped, spin-lock, adiabatic, Bloch-Siegert shift)
-Lindblad theory
This manuscript is the result of my personal will to cement the knowledge I had to acquire for some papers before it will be lost into oblivion. For this reason, such essay was intended for my personal use only, but it came out so nice that I wanted to share it for anyone in need. This is usually due to the extremely complex and nonuniform literature on the topic.
Any suggestion or correction is more than welcomed and will make the new manuscript versions even better. Please contact me:
