This is an Orphan subpage. Details:

You may see this box for one of three reasons. Either:

A - New page has been created

B - Orphaned subpage; accidently not moved with the old cluster.

C - Cluster move is in progress

Click on the option that best describes what you are trying to do. Each hyperlink will give you some recommendations for the next step.

[Feel free to recommend improvements to the text or links in this template]

A - New page created

If you are in the process of starting a new cluster then:

The following links will be useful:

Create the metadata page .
Create the talk page ;
Create the article page ;
Constables will create the approval page when article is approved.

B- Orphaned subpage

If you found this page by following a hyperlink to this page, you may have found an orphaned subpage or metadata page.

What next?

If this is a subpage:

a) with content:

Someone may have created subpage content without an article.
A page may have been moved to a new location and this page may have been accidently left behind.
- The former article might have existed at "Nuclear magnetic resonance/Catalogs".
- Or it was created as a stand alone subpage and never had an associated article or metadata page.
Consider if there is a home to merge the data to or consider starting a cluster around this content.

b) without content:

As this page is not associated with any article it should probably be deleted.

If the article name includes a slash:

A slash (/) in a title is not compatible with the CZ subpages format.
Make this page into a redirect to a more appropriate name. For an example, see Linux.

C- For a Cluster Move

The metadata template needs to be moved to the new name. It, or clues to its location can be found at the following link.
If this is the new metadata template the pagename field has been updated too soon. Change back to the old name and continue guided by the semiautomated Cluster Move Information box.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) spectroscopy both exploit magnetically active atomic nuclei. That is, compounds containing elements with non-zero nuclear spin (I ) can be studied by these techniques. The elements with non-vanishing nuclear spin are said to be NMR active elements. We refer to the articles on NMR and MRI for the use of the NMR-type spectroscopies in chemistry and medical diagnostics.

Although nuclear spin I is listed as a single variable, it is the vector sum of the individual angular momenta of all protons and neutrons (nucleons). A nucleon has an angular momentum j = l + s, where the strong (in comparison to electromagnetic) nuclear forces couple the nucleon spin s to the nucleon orbit l. Depending on j the magnetic moment of the nucleon may be positive (parallel to j) or negative (antiparallel).^[1] The angular momenta j of the individual nucleons are coupled to total nuclear spin I.^[2]

In general, all atoms whose numbers of protons and numbers of neutrons are not both even will be magnetically active because the spins of the individual nucleons do not cancel each other out completely, that is total I ≠ 0. When placed in a very strong magnet the degenerate 2I+1 nuclear states will split into 2I+1 energy states whose energy differences are dependent on the strength of the magnetic field. In the simplest case where the nuclear spin I = 1/2, the spin can be aligned with or against the field. By exciting the nuclei with energy, typically in the radio frequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum, the lowest energy state is excited to a higher energy state. A signal, called the free induction decay (FID) is then measured as the excited state relaxes back to the lower energy state. The table below lists the isotope(s) of elements that have non-zero nuclear spin and therefore may be used in NMR or MRI spectroscopy. Only three chemical elements with atomic numbers less than Bismuth (Z=81) do not have magnetically active isotopes: Argon, Cesium and Promethium.

NOTE: All nuclear spins I are positive. Negative spin values shown below indicate that the gyromagnetic ratio has a negative value, which means that the atomic magnetic moment and the nuclear spin are aligned antiparallel to each other. For nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopists designing complex excitation schemes, it is convenient to think of such atoms as having negative nuclear spins because, compared to atoms with positive gyromagnetic ratios, the nuclei align in the opposite direction and therefore also precess (rotate) about the magnetic field in the opposite direction. (No matter what sign the spin value has they respond to a strong magnetic field one in the direction Z and the other in the direction −Z. Important is to note they respond likewise only the direction differs by 180˚in the direction of the applied magnetic field.)
