چکیده
The past decade has seen significant advances in the technique of nuclear magnetic resonance as applied to condensed phase systems. This progress has been driven by the development of sophisticated radio-frequency pulse sequences to manipulate nuclear spins, and by the availability of high-field spectrometers. During this period it has become possible to predict the major NMR observables using periodic first-principles techniques. Such calculations are now widely used in the solid-state NMR community. In this short article we aim to provide an overview of the capability and challenges of solid-state NMR. We summarise the key NMR parameters and how they may be calculated from first principles. Finally we outline the advantages of a joint experimental and computational approach to solid-state NMR.

Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
In 2001, Mauri and Pickard introduced the gauge including projected augmented wave (GIPAW) method that enabled for the first time the calculation of all-electron NMR parameters in solids, i.e. accounting for periodic boundary conditions. The GIPAW method roots in the plane wave pseudopotential formalism of the density functional theory (DFT), and avoids the use of the cluster approximation. Thi...

An integrated computational method which couples classical molecular dynamics simulations with density functional theory calculations is used to simulate the solid-state NMR spectra of amorphous CaSiO(3). Two CaSiO(3) glass models are obtained by shell-model molecular dynamics simulations, successively relaxed at the GGA-PBE level of theory. The calculation of the NMR parameters (chemical shiel...

متن کاملAutomating First-Principles Phase Diagram Calculations
Devising a computational tool that assesses the thermodynamic stability of materials is among the most important steps required to build a “virtual laboratory”, where materials could be designed from first-principles without relying on experimental input. Although the formalism that allows the calculation of solid state phase diagrams from first principles is well established, its practical imp...
