Course content
Basic physical principles of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron spin resonance (ESR) and selection rules. NMR: solid state NMR techniques, magic angle spinning (MAS) and measurement of static spectra, basic characteristics of spectra and their significance - chemical shift, line width and shape and their relation to the studied core. Nuclei with spin ? and problems of measurement and analysis of spektra of quadrupole nuclei. ESR: basic characteristics of spectra and their significance, spectra of monocrystals, spectra of powder and glass materials, their shape and analysis, determination of g factor and hyperfine splitting constant and their relationship to symmetry and distribution of electron density in the studied atom environment. Possibilities of computer simulation of NMR and ESR spectra.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming)
  • Preparation of a presentation (report) - 30 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The student will gain advanced knowledge of methods for measuring and analyzing solid state NMR and EPR data.
Understanding the principle of the lectured methods and the possibility of interpreting at least simpler experimental results.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of the principle of both methods at the level of the subject Metody studia látek I and Laboratory of Characterization of Materials (follow-up master's study).

Assessment methods and criteria
Home assignment evaluation, Discussion

Teaching takes place in the form of consultations. PhD student processes given topic in written form as a basis for subsequent discussion.
