Recent developments in radiative detection of nuclear magnetic resonance

A review of present applications and recent developments of nuclear magnetic resonance combined with nuclear radiation detection is given. This method offers a sensitive and precise probe for nuclear, atomic and solid state physics. The methods treated here depend on the production of an unequal population of the nuclear hyperfine or Zeeman substates, which can be detected by the spatial or polarization properties of emitted nuclear radiations.
