Atomic Physics
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a physical phenomenon where nuclei in a magnetic field absorb and re-emit electromagnetic radiation, allowing for the study of molecular and atomic structure. This technique is vital in understanding both fine and hyperfine structures by providing insights into the energy levels and interactions of nuclei in the presence of external magnetic fields, which are influenced by electron distributions and other nearby nuclei.
