Magnetic Susceptibilities
We have seen that an assembly of nuclear magnets in a steady magnetic field absorbs power from a suitably applied RF field.
We know from basic E&M theory (macroscopic formulation of Maxwell's equations) that absorption is associated with the imaginary part of the susceptibility . In our case, is the complex nuclear magnetic susceptibility, where is the real part and is associated with dispersion while Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \chi^{''}} is the imaginary part and is associated with absorption.
