docnet said:Could QED explain NMR in its entire phenomenon?
I agree. You really do not need QED for NMR. The number of hydrogens you are dealing with is so large that NMR can be understood almost entirely in the classical approximation. The few instances where QM is important can be handled with non-relativistic QM. I cannot think of a single instance where QED is needed (but I am unfamiliar with the Lamb shift measurements mentioned by @Vanadium 50 above).Dr Transport said:I don't believe you need to go to QED to explain NMR, Slichter's classic text pretty much covers everything.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a scientific technique used to study the physical and chemical properties of atoms and molecules. It involves the interaction of atomic nuclei with a strong magnetic field and radio frequency waves, resulting in the absorption and emission of electromagnetic radiation.
NMR works by placing a sample containing atoms with magnetic properties in a strong magnetic field. The sample is then exposed to radio frequency waves, causing the magnetic properties of the atoms to align and absorb energy. As the radio frequency is varied, the atoms release this energy at specific frequencies, which can be detected and analyzed to determine the structure and properties of the sample.
NMR has a wide range of applications in various fields such as chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, and materials science. It is commonly used to determine the structure and composition of molecules, study chemical reactions, and identify unknown compounds. In medicine, NMR is used for medical imaging, such as MRI scans, to diagnose diseases and monitor treatments.
NMR has several advantages over other analytical techniques. It is non-destructive, meaning the sample is not altered during the analysis, and it can provide detailed information about the structure and dynamics of molecules. NMR is also highly sensitive and can detect small amounts of substances, making it a valuable tool in research and quality control.
While NMR is a powerful technique, it does have some limitations. It requires specialized equipment and expertise, making it relatively expensive compared to other analytical methods. NMR is also limited in its ability to analyze large molecules or complex mixtures, and the interpretation of NMR data can be challenging and time-consuming.
