Solid state / Diffusion NMR

Solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) is a  technique that allows study of certain elements, such as Carbon,  Fluorine, Phosphorus and Silicon, within solid materials. The material is placed in a small rotor and spun inside the magnetic field of the spectrometer, and this technique can then be used to get structural information about the solid material relating to the element being studied e.g. the different types of carbon species present.
