Low field NMR

Abstract

The subject of this thesis is NMR in low magnetic field. Traditionally NMR instruments utilize a superconducting high field magnet, but recently, compact instruments are getting more common with the use of lower magnetic fields. In this thesis, the basic theory of NMR is explained and the instrumentation and different ways of producing homogeneous magnetic fields are described. An experimental set-up was constructed and tested. The theory of relaxation and dependence of resonance frequency on the magnetic field were demonstrated.
