  • Overhauser Effect

    Introduction The Overhauser Effect, named after American physicist Albert Overhauser, is a fascinating phenomenon in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. It demonstrates a unique quantum mechanical interaction between the magnetic moments of electrons and nuclei. Basic Concept of Overhauser Effect In simple terms, the Overhauser Effect refers to the polarization…

  • Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE)

    Introduction The Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) is a crucial phenomenon in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, specifically used for the investigation of macromolecular structures and interactions. Basic Principles of NOE The NOE arises due to the magnetic interactions between different nuclear spins within a molecule in solution. When one nucleus is selectively irradiated, it can…
