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:

1. June 28, 2024, K. K. George Kurian, TIFR Hyderabad, India, "A broadband atomic magnetometer based NMR spectrometer",  Atomic magnetometers are being used to detect NMR spectra within the frequency range of a few hundred Hz, especially for detecting J-spectra. In order to perform zero-to-ultralow-field (ZULF) NMR on samples with stronger J-couplings or in systems like solids, where the dipolar and quadrupolar couplings are more prominent, a magnetometer with a wider bandwidth is necessary. This seminar will present the design and development of an atomic magnetometer with a sensitivity of around 1 pT/√Hz and a bandwidth of 24 kHz. The presentation will also discuss the building of an NMR spectrometer incorporating this atomic magnetometer along with a nuclear spin control system and the detection of NMR signals in magnetic fields ranging from a few nTs to tens of μTs using this instrument.  Furthermore, the presentation will explore the theoretical aspects of zero-field NMR and our implementation of certain pulse sequences, such as spin echoes, at low magnetic fields.

2. No Seminars after June 28 till end of August-   Summer break.
