Abstract: After the discovery of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in 1946, NMR has been playing an important role for determining electronic and magnetic properties of materials from a microscopic point of view. NMR can provide important information which cannot be obtained from so-called bulk measurements such as magnetic susceptibility, specific heat measurements, and so on. In this colloquium, I will talk about the basics of NMR technique and advantage and disadvantage of the technique. Then, as an example of the application of the technique to condensed matter physics, our recent NMR results for iron pnictide superconductors and related materials will be discussed.
