SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the impact of harmonics of the Larmor frequency on proton precession in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Participants agree that harmonics do not significantly affect proton precession due to the sharp resonance bandwidth inherent in NMR. The consensus is that the precision of the resonance makes it unlikely for harmonics to influence the precession of protons.

PREREQUISITES
  • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) fundamentals
  • Larmor frequency concepts
  • Understanding of resonance bandwidth
  • Basic principles of proton precession

Would a harmonic of the Larmor frequency have any effect on proton precession?

You're talking about NMR? I think not. The resonance bandwidth is extremely sharp.
 
Yes, I was talking about NMR.

That is what I was thinking, however my knowledge in this area is very limited and just needed more input.

Thanks.
