Non-conventional NMR Detection Methods

The sensitivity of NMR is intrinsically lower compared to other analytical or imaging methods. There have been many non-conventional developments to improve the sensitivity, such as SQUID (Superconducting QUantum Interference Device), atomic magnetometer, MRFM (Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy) and remote detection. As the NMR detection threshold has been largely boosted by these methods so novel applications have emerged. This book describes the recent advances in non-conventional NMR detection methods and their applications whilst also considering the challenges facing the next generation of users. Aimed at both academia and industry, readers will broaden their knowledge beyond conventional NMR and see the potential of this powerful method.
