The NMR phenomenon relies on the interaction of the nuclei of certain atomic isotopes with a static magnetic field. This magnetic field makes the possible spin-states of the nucleus differ in energy, and using NMR techniques the spins can be made to create observable transitions between the spin states.

What is spin

Spin is the rotation of body about its own center of mass.
