In this lecture, I discuss the generic form of the nuclear spin Hamiltonian using the irreducible spherical tensor formalism presented in Lecture 4. I use the argument that the direct interaction between the spin and the static field is often the largest one, to approximate the spin Hamiltonian into a simpler form by invoking the perturbation theory that is presented in Lecture 5 (secular approximation). I then derive the explicit form of the Hamiltonians that represent each of the most frequently encountered interactions in spin dynamics. Finally, I discuss the effect of molecular motions and derive the form of the nuclear spin Hamiltonian in isotropic liquids.
