Nuclear quadrupole resonance spectroscopy

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008114",
  "term": "Nuclear quadrupole resonance spectroscopy",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A spectroscopic technique that detects transitions between nuclear quadrupole energy levels in solid samples. It relies on the interaction of a nucleus's electric quadrupole moment with the electric field gradient produced by surrounding electrons and nuclei. This method provides information about local electronic structure and molecular symmetry in crystalline solids.",
