Konstantin Ivanov Intercontinental Magnetic Resonance Seminar

Konstantin Ivanov intercontinental magnetic resonance seminar series started on April 8, 2020. It organises seminars on a range of topics in magnetic resonance covering NMR, EPR, hyperpolarisation, colour centres and optical pumping, and ZULF NMR. The emphasis of the talks are on both methods and applications and a perspective on the future of the field. The speakers include a wide range of scientists ranging from PhD students to post-doctoral fellows, to senior scientists.

Upcoming Talks:

• December 12: Franck Fayon, CEMTHI - CNRS, Orléans, France, "NMR of glasses: new perspectives using very high magnetic fields", Glasses are an important class of materials that are widely used for both common purposes and high-tech applications (telecommunications, lasers, photonics, infrared vision, (bio)chemical sensors, etc.). Glasses are typically obtained by the rapid cooling of a high-temperature liquid and adopt disordered solid-state structures without long-range periodicity. In this context, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is one of the techniques of choice for studying their structures. In this lecture, we will illustrate the potential offered by the use of very high magnetic fields from 20.0 T to well above 28.2 T to characterize the structure of different oxide glasses, notably through the observation of quadrupolar nuclei with abundant isotopes (such as 11B or 71Ga) or very diluted ones (67Zn or 17O).
