Rotation that the net magnetization experiences during the application of a radiofrequency pulse in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Note:
For a strong and rectangular RF-pulse of constant amplitude (B1) and duration (tp), the resultant flip angle is approximately proportional to the frequency (f1) of the B1 field: α=γB1tp, where γ is the gyromagnetic ratio.
