Who Am I

Suman Chatterjee . I am a research scholar in the department of High Energy Phyics at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, situated in Mumbai, India. '

Plan of Work

I've planned to edit the wikipedia page on Magnetic resonance (quantum mechanics). I want to proceed by discussing following points -

1. What is Magnetic resonance(i.e. basic physical idea)

2. Mechanism behind this with the help of Quantum mechanics, (here I will use idea of Hilbert space, Pauli matrices, Rotational operator to transform time-dependent hamiltonian to time independent frame, Rabi oscillation, etc; but I will not discuss the details of Perturbation theory.)

3. A brief argument from the point of view of semi-classical theory, and where it differs from quantum mechanical explanation and experimental reults.

4. Some applications of magnetic resonance to various cases, for example- to determine of life time of unstable states,to determine magnetic field experienced by a nucleus inside a molecule or crystal lattice

5. Application of magnetic resonance by Rabi to measure spin magnetic moment of atomic electrons or nuclear spin, an improvement over Stern-Gerlach apparatus.
