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:

• May 15, 2026: No Seminar, Long holiday weekend

• May 22, 2026: Anders Bodholt Nielsen, University of Aarhus, Denmark, "Perspectives on effective Hamiltonians for magnetic resonance by SSV-EHT approach", A theoretical framework based on the Single-Spin-Vector Effective Hamiltonian Theory (SSV-EHT) will be presented. Based on the insight from SSV-EHT description, different theoretical ideas addressing design principles of effective Hamiltonians will be presented. These will cover single-crystal optimizations for powder samples, resonance condition selection rules by separation of double/zero-quantum conditions, and scalability of internal parameters (isotropic/anisotropic chemical shifts) and their influence on the performance of a given effective Hamiltonian. Examples for effective Hamiltonian calculations will cover TOCSY experiments in liquid-state NMR, dipole-dipole recoupling experiments under magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR, and pulsed solid-effect (SE) in static DNP.
