Abstract
One of the most important developments beyond the original concept of magnetic resonance is so-called double resonance in which, as the name suggests, one excites one resonant transition of a system while simultaneously monitoring a different transition. This area of science contains a succession of truly brilliant inventions which are awe inspiring to contemplate. There are many reasons for performing double resonance. We shall try to give a picture of the range of reasons by recounting some of the pioneering double resonance experiments. In so doing we shall rather arbitrarily break the discussion into three broad categories. The first we call the Overhauser-Pound Family of Double Resonance, which includes such topics as dynamic nuclear polarization, electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR), solid-state masers, and all varieties of lasers. The second category is a potpouri of special methods such as spin echo double resonance. The third category is the method invented by Hahn for using the strong resonance of an abundant nucleus to detect the weak resonances of a rare species by greatly enhancing the effectiveness of the normal coupling between the two spin systems.
