Prerequisites:

Course completion requirements:
Assessment and completion of the course: Credit test and examination
Continuous assessment: Student passes the continuous assessment and receives credits when he or she meets the requirement to obtain at least 21% out of 40%.
A necessary condition for granting the credit is the submission of all correctly prepared reports on laboratory measurements. Student passes the continuous assessment and receives credits when he or she meets the requirement to obtain at least 21% out of 40% for submitted reports.
Reports on measurements
Final assessment: Student passes the final assessment and passes the examination when he or she meets the requirement to obtain at least 31% out of 60%.
examination
Overall assessment: Overall assessment is the sum of the assessments obtained by students in the assessment period. The overall result is determined in accordance with the internal regulations of the Technical University in Košice. (Study Regulations, the internal regulation principles of doctoral studies)

Learning outcomes:
The aim of the subject is to give students fundamental knowledge on theoretical principles, experimental techniques and applications of NMR.

Brief course content:
Magnetic properties of atomic nuclei, interactions of nuclei with homogeneous magnetic field, nuclear paramagnetism, interactions of nuclei with oscilating magnetic field.
Fundamentals of the theory of nuclear magnetic relaxation. Magnetization vector motion.
NMR spectra of solids. Interactions of nuclei with internal magnetic fields - homonuclear and heteronuclear dipole interactions, chemical shift, scalar interactions, quadrupole interactions.
CW and FT NMR.
NMR applications in the study of structure and molecular dynamics in solids - cross polarization method, spin temperature.
Nuclear magnetic relaxation theory - random processes, correlation functions, probability of transitions between states of a system of spin pairs.

Recommended optional program components:

Languages required for the course completion: Slovak, English

Notes: To complete the course successfully, it is necessary to obtain a credit and successfully pass the exam. This includes the student's participation in educational activities of direct teaching, lectures, exercises, as well as independent study and independent creative activity of the student in processing the measured results and preparing reports from measurements in the specified form, together 150 hours of student work per semester.
