NMR Spectroscopy Part I. Origin of NMR
Nuclei in Magnetic Field • Nucleus rotate about an axis -- spin Nucleus bears a charge, its spin gives rise to a magnetic field . The resulting magnetic moment is oriented along the axis of spin and is proportional to angular momentum m = g p • : magnetic moment p: angular momentum g: magnetogyric ratio
Nuclei in Magnetic Field • Spin Quantum Number I a characteristic property of a nucleus. May be an integer or half integer # of protons # of neutrons I even even 0 odd odd integer 1,2,3… even odd half integral 1/2, 3/2, 5/2… odd even half integral 1/2, 3/2, 5/2…
Nuclei in Magnetic Field • Properties of nucleus with spin quantum number I 1. An angular momentum of magnitude {I(I+1)}1/2ħ 2.A component of angular momentum mIħ on an arbitrary axis where mI=I, I-1, … -I (magnetic quantum number) 3. When I>0, a magnetic moment with a constant magnitude and an orientation that is determined by the value of mI. m = g mI ħ
Nuclei in Magnetic Field • In a magnetic field B(in z direction) there are 2I+1 orientations of nucleus with different energies. B0: magnetic field in z direction nL: Larmor Frequency
Nuclei in Magnetic Field • For I=1/2 nucleus : mI = 1/2 and –1/2
Nuclei in Magnetic Field Distribution between two states
Nuclei in Magnetic Field Magnetizaton The difference in populations of the two states can be considered as a surplus in the lower energy state according to the Boltzmann distribution A net magnetization of the sample is stationary and aligned along the z axis (applied field direction)
