Abstract:

Although solid state NMR spectroscopy has been available for the last decade and a half, its application to studies of ceramic materials has occurred relatively slowly. The technique provides an excellent complement to XRD since it does not require the presence of long range atomic ordering and is thus eminently suitable for investigating glasses, gels, and amorphous intermediates formed during solid state reactions of ceramics and minerals. Solid state NMR spectroscopy can provide information about the co-ordination and atomic environment of most of the elements of interest to ceramic scientists. The principles and practical considerations underlying the technique are briefly outlined and examples of its application to a range of ceramic systems are presented.
