Chapter 1
Production of net magnetization
Magnetic resonance (MR) is a measurement technique used to examine atoms and molecules. It is based upon the interaction between an applied magnetic field and a particle that possesses spin and charge. While electrons and other subatomic particles possess spin (or more precisely, spin angular momentum) and can be examined using MR techniques, this book focuses on nuclei and the use of MR techniques for their study, formally known as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, or NMR. Nuclear spin, or more precisely nuclear spin angular momentum, is one of several intrinsic properties of an atom and its value depends on the precise atomic composition. Every element in the Periodic Table except argon and cerium has at least one naturally occurring isotope that possesses nuclear spin. Thus, in principle, nearly every element can be examined using MR, and the basic ideas of resonance absorption and relaxation are common for all of these elements. The precise details will vary from nucleus to nucleus and from system to system.
1.1 Magnetic fields
Magnetic fields often vary over time and/or space, and will be coupled to the electric field, producing electromagnetic waves. Magnetic fields, particularly those in electromagnetic waves, are characterized by their frequency (the time between two consecutive “peaks” in the field). In MR, there are magnetic fields, which are constant in time, which vary at acoustic frequencies (a few kilohertz), and which vary at radio frequencies (RF) (several megahertz).
1.2 Nuclear spin
The structure of an atom is an essential component of the MR experiment. Atoms consist of three fundamental particles: protons, which possess a positive charge; neutrons, which have no charge; and electrons, which have a negative charge. The protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus or core of an atom; thus all nuclei are positively charged. The electrons are located in shells or orbitals surrounding the nucleus. The characteristic chemical reactions of elements depend upon the particular number of each of these particles. The properties most commonly used to categorize elements are the atomic number and the atomic weight. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus and is the primary index used to differentiate atoms. All atoms of an element have the same atomic n...
