PHY422   Magnetic Resonance: Principles and Applications   (10 credits)

Description

The module will provide an overview of the basics of magnetic resonance, and then consider its applications in systems ranging from macroscopic living organisms, as in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) widely used in hospitals, to nano-scale systems where control of single or a few spins is now possible and can also be used for nano-imaging. Special attention will be paid to recent advances in solid-state nano-NMR and the control of single electron spins in solid state nano-systems using spin resonance techniques.
