The Larmor frequency is important in NMR spectroscopy. The gyromagnetic ratios, which give the Larmor frequencies at a given magnetic field strength, have been measured and tabulated. [3] Crucially, the Larmor frequency is independent of the polar angle between the applied magnetic field and the magnetic moment direction.
These procedures rely on the fact that bulk magnetization due to nuclear spins precess in a magnetic field at a rate called the Larmor frequency, which is simply the product of the gyromagnetic ratio with the magnetic field strength. With this phenomenon, the sign of γ determines the sense (clockwise vs counterclockwise) of precession.
The Larmor formula can only be used for non-relativistic particles, which limits its usefulness. The Liénard-Wiechert potential is a more comprehensive formula that must be employed for particles travelling at relativistic speeds. In certain situations, more intricate calculations including numerical techniques or perturbation theory could be ...
The power is absorbed by the precessing magnetization (Larmor precession) of the material and lost as heat. For this coupling to occur, the frequency of the incident wave must be equal to the precession frequency of the magnetization (Larmor frequency) and the polarization of the wave must match the orientation of the magnetization.
If a horizontal rotating field , angular frequency of rotation is applied in the region between poles of magnet 2, produced by oscillating current in circular coils then there is a probability for the atoms passing through there from one spin state to another (= + / > / and vice versa), when = , Larmor frequency of precession of magnetic moment ...
This is the initial condition for the differential equation. Note that when the rotating frame of reference rotates exactly at the Larmor frequency (this is the physical meaning of the above assumption Ω = ω 0), the vector of transverse nuclear magnetization, M xy (t) appears to be stationary.
The gyromagnetic ratio is also the ratio between the observed angular frequency of Larmor precession and the strength of the magnetic field in nuclear magnetic resonance applications, [39] such as in MRI imaging. For this reason, the quantity γ/2π called "gamma bar", expressed in the unit MHz/T, is often given.
This is the equation of motion of the magnetization. It describes a Larmor precession of the magnetization around the effective field, with an additional damping term arising from the coupling of the magnetic system to the environment. The equation can be written in the so-called Gilbert form (or implicit form) as: [1]: 181 [6]: 462
