"Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), discovered as physical phenomenon by Bloch and Purcell in 1945, rapidly became the theoretical basis for of a powerful and most popular analytical method, which is widely applied in different fields of modern fundamental and applied science, and also medicine and industry. This circumstance is easy explained by capability of NMR to solve rapidly a large number of practical tasks which can be connected not only with structural descriptions of systems on macro and/or molecular levels but also identifications of their various dynamic behavior often responsible for mechanical properties of materials"--Provided by publisher.
"Solid-state NMR is an extraordinarily powerful method that is widely applied in materials chemistry and is constantly being developed through application of new techniques and approaches. As the most exciting direction of modem materials science, the controlled design of new materials requires constant application of new methods. Although young scientists are familiar with solution NMR, the solid-state version of this method often remains a black box, so this book describes experimental problems in solid-state NMR while avoiding unnecessary theoretical details. The text covers amorphous and diamagnetic materials, paramagnetic effects, the porous system, and more"--Provided by publisher.
Chemical physicist Bakhmutov explains the strategy of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments to new and experienced researchers in materials science as well as students who have not encountered it before. He covers general principles of pulsed NMR and techniques, common and key problems with amorphous materials as potential objects of study, diamagnetic materials, multi-nuclear NMR in diamagnetic solids, dynamics in diamagnetic materials, strategies in solid-state multi-nuclear NMR, parmagnetic effects, and amorphous porous paramagnetic materials.

Solid-state NMR is a powerful physical method widely applied in modern fundamental and applied science, medicine, and industry. Its role is particularly valuable in materials chemistry due to the capability of solid-state NMR to rapidly solve tasks connected with structural descriptions of complex systems on macro and/or molecular levels, and the identification of the dynamics often responsible for complex systems mechanical properties.
Written for non-specialists, Solid-State NMR in Materials Science: Principles and Applications introduces the general physical principles of pulsed NMR, by including elements of the theory and practice in the registration of NMR signals, and by explaining different NMR equipment.
After the preliminaries, the book covers:
- The theory and features of solid-state NMR and nuclear relaxation in solids, including dynamics of materials
- Different materials, diamagnetic and paramagnetic, from metals and metal clusters to amorphous composites
- The methodology of collection and interpretations of solid-state NMR data, including strategies and criteria for structural characterizations of different materials
- Practical examples of multinuclear NMR and relaxation experiments as well as interpretations of data obtained
- Numerous solid-state NMR experiments performed for various materials to evaluate their structure and dynamics
Written in clear and simple language, this book includes clear illustrations, numerous examples, and detailed bibliographies. It an excellent reference not only for young and experienced researchers, but also for students interested in a future in materials science.
