IOP Conferences

Date: Tue, 11 December 2007
Venue: Institute of Physics, London
Organised by: BRSG: The Magnetic Resonance Group of the Institute of Physics

Introduction


NMR of solids and related materials

In recent years, solid-state NMR has become a mature technique for the study and characterization of materials and other solids. Here in the UK, and in other countries, the number of practising scientists in the field has grown enormously as the instrumentation has improved and the method has established itself in nearly all branches of the physical and life sciences. At this Christmas meeting, we plan to showcase a wide range of work from some of the leading research groups in solid-state NMR, with talks from both the younger and more experienced members of the community.
