Crystal.m

Static single crystal simulation context. This function positions the spin system at a particular angle in the laboratory frame of reference, generates Hamiltonian, relaxation superoperator, kinetics superoperator, applies the necessary offsets and rotating frame transformations, updates the parameter set, and passes all of that to the pulse sequence.

Syntax

    answer=crystal(spin_system,@pulse_sequence,parameters,assumptions)

    the pulse sequence should have the following input syntax:

    answer=pulse_sequence(spin_system,parameters,H,R,K)

Arguments

  @pulse_sequence     - pulse sequence function handle

  parameters.spins    - a cell array giving the spins that 
                        the pulse sequence involves, e.g. 
                        {'1H','13C'}

  parameters.offset   - a cell array giving transmitter off-
                        sets in Hz on each of the spins listed
                        in parameters.spins array

  parameters.orientation - a row vector of the three Euler angles
                          (in radians) giving the orientation of
                           the system relative to the input orien-
                           tation.

  parameters.rframes  - rotating frame specification, e.g.
                        {{'13C',2},{'14N,3}} requests second
                        order rotating frame transformation
                        with respect to carbon-13 and third
                        order rotating frame transformation
                        with respect to nitrogen-14. When
                        this option is used, the assumptions
                        on the respective spins should be
                        laboratory frame.

  parameters.*        - additional subfields may be required
                        by your pulse sequence - check its 
                        documentation page 

  assumptions         - a character string setting the simulation 
                        assumptions, e.g. 'nmr' - see assume.m
                        for further details.

Outputs

This function returns whatever the pulse sequence returns. The parameters structure is passed to the pulse sequence with the following additional parameters set:

    parameters.spc_dim  - matrix dimension for the spatial
                          dynamics subspace

    parameters.spn_dim  - matrix dimension for the spin 
                          dynamics subspace

Examples

The following examples files in the Spinach example set make use of this context function:

cross_effect_freq_scan_1.m

Notes

Arbitrary order rotating frame transformation is supported, including infinite order. See rotframe.m for further information.
