Nuclear orientation is a phenomenon observed in nuclear physics and involves the alignment of the nuclear spins of certain isotopes in a magnetic field. This occurs when nuclei are oriented in a particular direction, either due to external magnetic fields or through other means such as interactions with surrounding atomic or molecular structures. Key aspects of nuclear orientation include: 1. **Nuclear Spin**: Nuclei possess intrinsic angular momentum, or spin, which can take on various orientations relative to an external magnetic field.
