A study of the precision of average Hamiltonian theory for spin I=1, 3/2 and 5/2 nuclei by investigating a two pulse quadrupolar echo sequence

In this work we investigate the accuracy of controlling spin I=1, 3/2 and 5/2 systems by average Hamiltonian theory. By way of example, we illustrate the precision one can achieve by this perturbation scheme compared to an exact solution computed by a numerical solution of the von Neumann equation f...

Description
Summary:In this work we investigate the accuracy of controlling spin I=1, 3/2 and 5/2 systems by average Hamiltonian theory. By way of example, we illustrate the precision one can achieve by this perturbation scheme compared to an exact solution computed by a numerical solution of the von Neumann equation for a simple two pulse echo cycle. We study this precision as a function of the quadrupolar coupling as well as various experimental parameters, such as the pulse spacing and pulse width.
