Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy at high magnetic fields

Abstract

Recent progress in the technology of generating high magnetic fields has greatly expanded the parameter phase space of the physical phenomena available for investigation. With it spawns exciting challenges in various experimental tools and methods in Condensed Matter Physics research. The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one such method that has played an important role in this field since its invention half a century ago and recently has been very influential in the development of phenomenological theories in high temperature superconductivity. A review of this important technique is presented and its development as a modern tool in the era when extreme conditions of magnetic fields are within experimental reach.
