The aim of the course is for the student to learn basic knowledge about Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and its applications in the studies of structure and dynamics in macromolecular and colloidal systems. The course also addresses imaging techniques and methods for the studies of solid materials.

Lectures: The course begins with basic theory for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, including an introduction to quantum mechanics. Then follow lectures on chemical shift, nuclear spin interactions, spin dynamics, chemical exchange, relaxation, multi-dimensional applications (including structure determination of macromolecules) and methods for imaging and the study of self-diffusion. The last part of the course is a possibility for each student to make a deeper descent into a subject that he or she finds interesting and relevant. A visit to the MR department at the Lund University Hospital might be offered. Practicals: An introduction to the data treatment in NMR (including topics like the Fourier transform and artefacts) is followed by practicals covering chemical exchange, relaxation, imaging and self diffusion. An extra practical might be offered as a part of the student’s intensifying task. That practical might cover, for example, structure determination, solid state NMR or molecular dynamics.

Övrig information: The course is identical to KFKN01 (LTH) and KEMM17 (faculty of Science) but can be adjusted slightly to the demands of the students. The course provides the fundamental theoretic and experimental aspects of NMR and MR imaging and gives the opportunity for deeper insight into a topic chosen by the student.
