Opis

This book is a tribute to E.L. Hahn, an outstanding physicist whose discovery of spin echoes and demonstration of nuclear free induction decay led to the most important methods of modern nuclear magnetic resonance. The wide impact of these methods in physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine is fully acknowledged. In addition, Hahn's fundamental contributions in nuclear quadrupole echo phenomena, level crossing techniques, self-induced transparency and laser physics have been of paramount importance. Reflecting the diversity of these key discoveries and their vital influence, the articles presented here offer a stimulating and challenging contribution to the scientific literature which will be read by students and research workers from the wide range of disciplines using NMR techniques.

Recenzje

This is not just another collection of specialist articles. It is a coherent and stimulating account of fields of research that have grown out of the papers of E L Hahn. The admiration for Hahn, the scientist and the man, pulses and echoes out from each essay, and the book is a veritable cornucopia of the science and much of the history of magnetic resonance. It is one of the most interesting books I have read. It will become one of the classics of the literature of magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
