摘要： This DVD course, “Basic Concepts in NMR”, is exactly what the title claims – a very thorough and detailed description of the underlying “concepts” that one needs to know to fully understand one-dimensional NMR experiments. Since I have been an industrial NMR spectroscopist training scientists to do NMR for over 40 years, I have a full appreciation for the amount of time this course would have saved me. The course explores the basic theory behind NMR experiments and even explains the components of the hardware necessary to obtain NMR data. The author’s presentations show the result of decades of teaching this topic. He presents each concept clearly and at a pace that allows the student to think about what the lessons mean. He frequently relates abstract principles to more easily understood physical observations such as his use of a common spring to illustrate the rate of return to equilibrium of excited nuclei during the relaxation process.
