NMR spectroscopy of Materials, 7.5 ECTS

NMR spectroscopy is a very versatile method that provides a broad insight into structural and dynamical features of materials. It is complementary to most other methods, with regard of both the information it provides but also its theory and methodology. Would you want to be able to exploit the capacity of NMR in your materials? In this course you can get a thorough introduction to the theory and a hands-on initiation to the practice of NMR.

NMR spectroscopy probes the response of nuclear spins, the tiny spies within almost all atoms, that can sensitively report about different aspects of the atomic and electronic environment and molecular motion that leads to changes in those. It is the most widely used spectroscopic method in chemistry and biochemistry, a ubiquitous diagnostic method in medicine (under the name of MRI) and has similarly great potential in materials. This course will provide both an introduction to NMR spectroscopy as applied to materials science, and an opportunity to initiate own and/or collaborative NMR studies facilitating the development of sustainable materials. The course includes on site theory sessions including problem solving workshops and practical sessions at the Material NMR node of the national SwedNMR infrastructure at SU/KTH in Stockholm.
