Question

What are T1 and T2 relaxation times in NMR spectrometry? How are pulse sequences used in NMR?

Expert Solution

Step 1: NMR spectroscopy

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy relies on two crucial measurements known as T1 and T2 relaxation times to provide insights into the behavior of atomic nuclei in a magnetic field. They characterize the time it takes for the nuclear magnetization to return to its equilibrium value after being perturbed by an RF pulse.
