The course is for advanced students and covers selected topics from magnetic resonance spectroscopy. This semester, the lecture will introduce and discuss the dynamics of electron-nuclear spin systems and experiments based on hyperfine interactions in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) for sensitivity enhancement in NMR.

The course is designed for advanced students and tackles a broad range of issues in nano-optics that are often not found in elementary textbooks. Applications include quantum optics, opto-electronics, sensing, analytics and biophysics.

The course is for advanced students and covers relaxation theory in magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

The course is for advanced students and introduces and discusses the theoretical foundations of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

The concept of coherence is considered in different contexts with emphasis on magnetic resonance spectroscopy and laser physics. Hilbert space and Liouville space formalisms are introduced and dissipative processes (relaxation and decoherence) are included.

Module 2 gives insight in both performance and risk based design concepts and principals. The students learn basic and advanced statistics and apply the tools to develop performance and risk based fire safety solutions.
