Chem 5.6, Fall 004 Leture #36 Page Introduton to Moleular Spetrosopy QM s essental for understandng moleular spetra and spetrosopy. In ths leture we delneate some features of NMR as an ntrodutory example to spetrosopy sne the Hamltonans and wavefuntons are partularly smple. Thus, NMR permts us to demonstrate several fundamental prnples rasng and lowerng operators, transton probabltes, et -- wth a mnmal amount of algebra. These are onepts you have lkely enountered elsewhere (5., 5.3, 5.33, et.) or other ourses. The prnples and prodeures are applable to other areas of spetrosopy -- eletron, vbratonal, rotatonal, et. but the algebra s more extensve nergy Levels of Nulear Spn Systems Zeeman Hamltonan For an unoupled nulear spn n a magnet feld the energy s µ Ths leads to a Zeeman Hamltonan, H Z, of the form H Z I Where magnet feld (Gauss) µ I Plank s onstant µ s the magnet moment I spn operator gyromagnet rato (rad/s Gauss) Nule ome dressed wth eletron and that rulate about the feld dreton, 0, generatng a feld,, that s opposte n dreton to the appled feld as shown on the left. Thus the Zeeman energy levels of the bare nuleus are shfted as shown n the fgure on the rght by the sheldng effet of the eletrons.
