Magnetic Resonance: Bloch Equations

This lecture covers the fundamentals of magnetic resonance, including spin precession, Bloch equations, transmission electron spin resonance, Overhauser effect, dynamic nuclear spin polarization, and adiabatic demagnetization. It explains the concept of spin precession in a magnetic field, the mathematical framework of Bloch equations, and the mechanisms behind dynamic spin polarization and spin cooling. The Overhauser effect and its enhancement of nuclear spin polarization are also discussed, along with the process of adiabatic demagnetization. The lecture delves into the details of spin transport, spin pumping, and the manipulation of spin states in a rotating frame.
