Research Focus Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) is the application of NMR spectroscopy to systems that are solids, nearly solids, or strongly anisotropic. With recent advancements in technology and improved understanding of nuclear spin interactions and their behavior in static/oscillating magnetic fields, NMR spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool for characterizing molecular structure at atomic level. In particular, the emergence of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as an important structural tool in the fields of chemistry, physics, materials science, and biology is quite impressive. Nevertheless, SSNMR is still a developing field and methods towards complete structural characterization are just emerging. To realize its potential, constant improvements and development of new NMR methodology (both on the theoretical and experimental front) with the available state of the art instrumentation remains vital. Our research group here in Mohali is primarily focused on developing theoretical methods based on time-dependent quantum mechanics for both designing new SSNMR experiments and building models for quantifying NMR experimental data. Besides its implications in chemistry and structural biology, SSNMR also serves as a test-bed to investigate/understand some of the founding principles of quantum physics. |
