Abstract
In conventional NMR spectrometers, the liquid or solid sample is placed in a homogeneous magnetic field, Bo, so that all chemically equivalent spins experience the same field and hence precess at the same Larmor angular frequency ωo given by
where γ is the magnetogyric ratio. Under these circumstances, the observed proton NMR spectrum of water consists of a single sharp line with an intrinsic width of about 0.1 Hz.
