E = h
o = Bo/2 Larmor equation
o = 2o is the angular Larmor resonance frequency
The gyromagnetic ratio is a constant for any particular type of nucleus and is directly proportional to the strength of the tiny nuclear magnet.

Spin-Spin Coupling (Splitting)
Observation: A nucleus with a magnetic moment may interact with other nuclear spins resulting in mutual splitting of the NMR signal from each nucleus into multiplets.
The number of components into which a signal is split is 2nI+1, where I is the spin quantum number and n is the number of other nuclei interacting with the nucleus.
For proton, I = 1/2

Summary
RelaxationRelaxation processes, which neither emit nor absorb radiation, permit the nuclear spin system to redistribute the population of nuclear spins. Some of these processes lead to the nonequilibrium spin distribution (Nlower – Nupper) exponentially approaching the equilibrium distribution.
(Nlower – Nupper) = (Nlower – Nupper)equil (1 – e-/T1)
Where the time constant for the exponential relaxation is T1, the spin-lattice relaxation time.

There are additional relaxation processes that adiabatically redistribute any absorbed energy among the many nuclei in a particular spin system without the spin system as a whole losing energy. Therefore, the lifetime for any particular nucleus in the higher energy state may be decreased, but the total number of nuclei in that state will be unchanged. This also occurs exponentially and has a time constant T2, the spin-spin relaxation time. Under some circumstances,the linewidth of an NMR signal at half-height, W1/2, can be related to T2 by W1/2 = 1/(T2)
Rate of proton exchange
Mxy = Mxyoexp(-/T2)
Spin-echo
Nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE)
When two nuclei are in sufficiently close spatial proximity, there may be an interaction between the two dipole moments. The interaction between a nuclear dipole moment and the magnetic field generated by another was already noted to provide a mechanism for relaxation. The nuclear dipole-dipole coupling thus leads to the NOE as well as T1 relaxation. If there is any mechanism other than from nuclear dipole-dipole interactions leading to relaxation, e.g., from an unpaired electron, the NOE will be diminished – perhaps annihilated.
