This new edition updates readers in three areas of NMR studies namely recent developments in
high-Tc materials heavy fermion systems and actinide oxides are presented. The NMR probe has
yielded a vast array of data for solid state materials corresponding to different compounds
ionic sites and nuclear species as well as to a wide variety of experimental conditions. The
last two parts of the book are completely new in this edition while the first part has seen
major updates.This edition features the latest developments for high-Tc materials especially
the advances in the area of pseudogap studies are reviewed. An in depth overview of heavy
fermion systems is presented in the second part notably Kondo lattices quantum critical
points and unconventional superconductivity are areas of intense research recently and are
covered extensively. Finally valuable information from NMR studies with actinide oxides will
be provided.Ongoing analysis and discussion of NMR data have resulted in a wealth of important
insights into the physics of these exotic systems. The aims of this monograph are manyfold.
First it reviews NMR methodology as it has been applied to the different studies. This is
addressed to NMR practitioners and to physics laypersons alike. Next it presents a review of
NMR measurements and the wide variety of phenomena which they represent. The third phase is to
recount the theoretical model calculations and other proposals which have been put forward to
account for these data.
