Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique for the structural characterization of materials. In this technique, the sample is placed in a strong magnetic field and the nuclei are excited by radiofrequency (RF) pulses. The resulting magnetic resonance signal is then detected and used to obtain information about the nuclear spins and their interactions with the surrounding electrons.
Solid-state NMR spectroscopy has been used to study a wide variety of materials, including metals, semiconductors, and insulators. The technique is particularly well suited for the study of materials with a large number of nuclei, such as metals and semiconductors. The high sensitivity of the technique allows for the detection of even very small concentrations of nuclei.
One of the major advantages of solid-state NMR spectroscopy is that it can be used to study the structure of materials at the atomic level. This information is essential for the development of new materials and for the understanding of the properties of existing materials.
The technique can be used to study the structure of both inorganic and organic materials. Inorganic materials include metals, semiconductors, and insulators. Organic materials include polymers, biomolecules, and small molecules.
