Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Tecniques: Physics Principles and Applications

The main objective of the course is to provide the student with the physical basic knowledge in magnetic resonance techniques: NMR relaxometry, high resolution NMR, MRI, Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia and their applications. The focus will be on biomedical applications, but also several examples on cultural heritage, energy storage and nanomaterials will be presented. Another objective of the course will be to show students the flexibility of the resonance techniques and their applicability in multidisciplinary fields of physics.

At the end of the course the student:
1) will learn the fundamental elements of magnetic resonance techniques in light of shown applications.
2) will reach a degree of independence that allow him to understand the use of resonance techniques in other applicative fields.
3) will acquire the ability to evaluate the most suitable technique (or combination of techniques) for the investigation of materials or for the final application to be pursued.
