Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been used extensively since the 1960’s to study phase transformations. When Lippmaa et al. (1980) presented the first significant high-resolution solid-state NMR spectroscopic study of minerals, the study of structural phase transitions by NMR was a mature field, appearing primarily in the physics literature (e.g., Blinc 1981; Rigamonti 1984). The sensitivity of NMR spectroscopy to short-range structure (first- and second-coordination spheres) and low-frequency dynamics (i.e., frequencies much lower than the thermal vibrations of atoms) make it useful for determining changes in the structure and dynamics of solids that occur near phase transitions....
