Michele Piscitelli, Royal Holloway University
The focus of this talk will be a general introduction to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) detection schemes that are based on the use of Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) as highly sensitive magnetometers. I will begin by providing an overview of the relevant concepts and principles behind SQUID-detected NMR. In the main part of my talk I will be presenting our experimental results and achievements in the field of ultralow field SQUID NMR spectroscopy and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This will be followed by a brief showcase of various interesting SQUID NMR applications in the field of Biodiagnostics that have been developed over the past few years. I will conclude by outlining some current research into further applications based on SQUID NMR systems.
