Early History of Magnetic Resonance

Abstract: The early history of magnetic resonance to around 1950 is discussed from the point of view of a participant in it. I. I. Rabi's theory of space quantization in a gyrating magnetic field and his molecular beam experiments in the 1930s laid the foundation of the magnetic resonance method, which he and his associates subsequently pursued and developed further at Columbia University, leading eventually to the development of NMR after World War II and the invention of the separated oscillatory fields method in 1950.

“…24 All the developments made in the magnetic resonance technique in this era have been elaborated in a review by Ramsay, which describes its journey (right from its inception to its developments). 25 Additionally, a brief historical Chapter 1. Introduction account of four other Nobel Laureates in the field of magnetic resonance clearly shows the track of the discovery, development, and applications of NMR spectroscopy.…”

“…The phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), the occurrence of which had been predicted and calculated by early physicists including the Irishman Joseph Larmor was first observed in the late 1930s by Isidor Rabi at Columbia University 3–5 . Further research in this field was interrupted by the outbreak of the Second World War.…”

“…Unknown to them the first successful paramagnetic resonance experiments in condensed matter had been performed in the USSR by E. Zavoisky who in his PhD. thesis in 1944 observed paramagnetic resonance with CrCl 3 4 . Observations by Gutowsky and McCall 8 led to the discovery of spin‐spin coupling by Purcell's team at Harvard 9 .…”

“…Since then, NMR has been used for all kinds of materials such as solids, liquids, and gases for kinetic and structural studies. It is worth noting that NMR investigations led to six Nobel prizes in this field [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”
