Magnetic resonance is perhaps the most advanced type of spectroscopy and it is applied in biology, chemistry, physics, material science, and medicine. If applied in conjunction with spectroscopy, the imaging version of magnetic resonance has no counterpart in any type of experimental technique. The authors present explanations and applications from fundamental to advanced levels.
- The authors present explanations and applications from fundamental to advanced levels
- This groundbreaking volume is accompanied by software which simulates magnetic resonance phenomena
