Description
The discovery of nuclear magnetic resonance earned Felix Bloch and Ed Purcell the 1952 Nobel Prize in Physics. Protons, the world's smallest magnets, can be used to create a magnetometer, as described in this book. A proton precession magnetometer is a highly precise method for measuring magnetic fields, limited only by the known value of the gyromagnetic ratio of the proton. This book explains how to build a proton precession magnetometer, suitable for measuring the Earth's magnetic field. The Magnum, a commercial product developed by Stefan Hollos and Richard Hollos, is a notable example of this technology. The magnetometer has various applications, including calibrating low field magnetometers, teaching modern signal processing techniques, and demonstrating nuclear magnetism and NMR to students. The book covers the theoretical foundations and practical aspects of building a proton precession magnetometer, making it a valuable resource for those interested in physics and scientific instrumentation.
