Die Erdachse wackelt und verändert sich im Laufe der Zeit aufgrund der Anziehungskraft von Sonne und Mond in einem Phänomen, das Präzession genannt wird.
In ähnlicher Weise präzediert das magnetische Moment μ eines rotierenden Kerns aufgrund eines angelegten Magnetfeldes B0, das entlang der z-Achse gerichtet ist.
Hier entspricht die Präzession der Drehung eines rotierenden Kerns um das B0-Feld, um einen Kegel zu beschreiben.
Die Präzession des magnetischen Momentenvektors um das Magnetfeld wird als Larmor-Präzession bezeichnet. Die Kreisfrequenz der Präzession, ω, die als Präzessions- oder Larmorfrequenz bezeichnet wird, ist direkt proportional zu B0.
Das magnetogyrische Verhältnis γ stellt die Proportionalitätskonstante zwischen ω und B0 dar und ist für jeden Kern festgelegt.
Wenn ω in Bezug auf die Betriebsfrequenz ν des NMR-Instruments ausgedrückt wird, ergibt sich durch Neuanordnen der Terme und Multiplikation beider Seiten der Gleichung mit der Planckschen Konstante die Beziehung zwischen ω und ΔE.

Atomic Nuclei: Larmor Precession Frequency

Das Gravitationsfeld der Erde erzeugt eine „Drehkraft“ senkrecht zum Drehimpuls einer rotierenden Masse (z. B. eines Kreisels), die dazu führt, dass die Masse um die Gravitationsfeldachse „wackelt“ – ein Phänomen, das Präzession genannt wird. In ähnlicher Weise präzediert das magnetische Moment (μ) eines rotierenden Kerns aufgrund eines externen Magnetfelds, das entlang der z-Achse gerichtet ist. Die Präzession des magnetischen Momentvektors um das Magnetfeld wird Larmor-Präzession genannt, und die Kreisfrequenz der Präzession (ω) wird Präzessions- oder Larmorfrequenz genannt, die direkt proportional zum angelegten Magnetfeld (B0) ist. Die Proportionalitätskonstante ist das gyromagnetische Verhältnis (γ), das für jeden Kern festgelegt ist. Dies liegt daran, dass jeder Kern aufgrund seiner Ladung und Masse ein einzigartiges Verhältnis von magnetischem Moment zu Drehimpuls aufweist. Für einen WasserSubstanzkern (ein Proton) beträgt der Wert von γ 2.675 × 108 T−1 s−1. Wenn man ω durch die Betriebsfrequenz (ν) des NMR-Instruments ausdrückt, die Terme neu anordnet und beide Seiten der Gleichung mit der Planckschen Konstante multipliziert, erhält man die Beziehung zwischen der Larmorfrequenz und der Energiedifferenz zwischen den Spinzuständen (ΔE).

magnetic field and nuclear precession

Magnetic field strength controls nuclear precession in NMR. A spinning nucleus has a magnetic moment, and that moment turns around an external magnetic field directed along the z-axis. This motion is called Larmor precession, and its angular frequency is the Larmor frequency.

The Larmor frequency is directly proportional to the applied magnetic field, B0. The proportionality constant is the gyromagnetic ratio, gamma. This value is fixed for each nucleus because every nucleus has its own ratio of magnetic moment to angular momentum, which depends on its charge and mass.

A hydrogen nucleus, or proton, has a gyromagnetic ratio of 2.675 × 10^8 T−1 s−1. When omega is written in terms of the operating frequency, nu, of the NMR instrument, the equation can be rearranged. Multiplying both sides by Planck's constant gives the link between Larmor frequency and the energy gap, Delta E, between the spin states.

nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr): overview

NMR Spectra and MRI Imaging

Nuclear magnetic resonance, or NMR, is a phenomenon that certain nuclei can show when they absorb radio frequency energy under the right conditions. Scientists use it in molecular spectroscopy and in medical imaging. In both cases, the sample or the person being studied is placed in a magnetic field and exposed to radio frequency energy. In NMR spectroscopy, the result is a spectrum. This spectrum plots the absorption frequencies of the sample against peak intensity. The pattern gives detailed...

atomic nuclei: nuclear spin

Nuclear Spin and NMR-Active Nuclei

Atomic nuclei have nuclear spin, which comes from the spins of their protons and neutrons. These particle spins are intrinsic angular momentum, and each electron, proton, and neutron has a spin value of 1/2. In nuclei, proton spins pair with other protons, and neutron spins pair with other neutrons. They do not pair with each other, so the final nuclear spin depends on which nucleons are left unpaired. Even numbers of protons do not add to the nuclear spin, and even numbers of neutrons do not...

atomic nuclei: nuclear magnetic moment

Nuclear Spin States and Magnetic Alignment

Atomic nuclei can act like tiny magnets when they have a nonzero spin. Because they are positively charged and rotating, they generate a magnetic field and a magnetic moment. In the absence of an external magnetic field, this magnetic moment points in random directions. When an external magnetic field, B0, is applied, the nuclear magnetic moments can line up with the field or against it. These two directions create 2I + 1 orientations. A hydrogen nucleus is a proton, and it has spin 1/2, so it...

Zeeman Splitting in Nuclear Spin States

NMR-active nuclei have spin states that describe the orientation of their nuclear magnetic moments. Without a magnetic field, these moments point in random directions, and the spin states are degenerate, meaning they have the same energy. When an external magnetic field is applied, the nucleus can only take on 2I + 1 orientations, where I is the nuclear spin. A proton with spin 1/2 has two possible orientations. A quadrupolar nucleus with spin 1 has three possible orientations. The...

atomic nuclei: nuclear spin state population distribution

Nuclear Spin Populations and NMR Signal

Nuclear spin populations help explain why NMR signals appear. In a magnetic field, nuclei can occupy a lower energy spin-up state or a higher energy spin-down state. Near absolute zero, most nuclei stay in the lower energy state. As temperature rises, thermal collisions spread the spins more evenly between the two states. The balance between the spin −1/2 and spin +1/2 populations is described by the Boltzmann distribution equation. In this equation, ΔE is the energy difference, k is the...

Nuclear Spins and Resonance in a Magnetic Field

Nuclear spins can line up in a magnetic field and create nuclear magnetic resonance. In the lower energy state, slightly more spins are aligned than in the higher energy state. That small difference gives the nuclei a net magnetization along the z axis.

atomic nuclei: nuclear relaxation processes

Nuclear Spin Alignment and Relaxation

Nuclear spin alignment and relaxation describe how nuclear spins respond to a magnetic field and then return to equilibrium. Without an external magnetic field, nuclear spin states are degenerate, meaning they have the same energy, and the spins are randomly oriented. When a magnetic field is applied, the spins begin to precess, or wobble, and orient themselves either along the field in a lower energy state or against it in a higher energy state. At equilibrium, a slight excess of spins...

NMR Relaxation Paths in Atomic Nuclei

Nuclear relaxation in atomic nuclei helps restore the balance between energy levels in NMR systems. It occurs through two main paths: spin-lattice relaxation and spin-spin relaxation. Both are first-order exponential decay processes. Spin-lattice relaxation is also called longitudinal relaxation. In this process, excited spins give energy to the surrounding lattice as they move back to the lower energy level. Magnetic dipolar interactions are an important part of this mechanism. A common...

nmr spectrometers: overview

How NMR Spectrometers Record Signals

NMR spectrometers record signals from samples that contain NMR-active nuclei. The system uses a strong magnet, a radiofrequency transmitter, and a detector connected to a computer console. These parts work together to measure and display the spectrum of the sample. Early NMR instruments were continuous-wave spectrometers. In a frequency-sweep method, the magnetic field stays fixed while the rf signal is swept. In a field-sweep method, the radiofrequency signal stays fixed while the magnetic...

NMR Pulse Angles and Signal Collection

NMR pulse angles and signal collection explain how radiofrequency energy starts a measurement. A pulse is a short burst of radio waves spread across a range of frequencies. It excites the nuclei in the sample at the same time. When a radiofrequency pulse is applied along the x-axis, nuclei absorb energy that matches their Larmor frequencies and reach resonance. The net magnetization vector moves away from the z-axis and toward the transverse plane. This rotation angle is called the flip angle.

NMR Peak Shape and Magnetic Field Shimming

NMR peak shape depends on the signal created after magnetic nuclei resonate and relax. The detected free induction decay is approximately exponential. When that decay is Fourier transformed, it becomes a Lorentzian peak in the frequency domain. A Lorentzian peak in an NMR spectrum is described by its amplitude, full width at half maximum, and position. Its width is governed by the spin-spin relaxation time alone. In real experiments, the sample and probe can make the magnetic field...

How Electron Density Shields Nuclei in NMR

Electron density around a nucleus affects how strongly it is shielded in NMR spectroscopy. When an applied magnetic field acts on a molecule, the electrons begin to circulate. This creates a local diamagnetic current within the molecule. The circulating sigma-bonding electrons produce a local magnetic field, B local, that opposes the applied field, B0. The nucleus then feels an effective magnetic field, which is the difference between the applied field and the local field. This effect is...
