Examples

A number of complete examples for two- and three-electron systems are given in examples/esr_solids folder. A good way to proceed (soft_4_pulse_deer_2e.m example file) is to look at how the pulses affect the system:

then to inspect the echo stack as a function of the pump pulse position:

and finally to inspect the principal components of the echo stack. The most prominent component is the DEER trace, the other components come from the finite size of the spherical integration grid.

Notes

1. For the method, start with 'expm', change to 'expv' if the calculation runs out of memory, and use 'evolution' as the last resort.
2. Simulated echoes tend to be sharp and hard to catch because simulation does not have distributions in experimental parameters. Fourier transforming the echo prior to integration is recommended.
3. The time in the DEER trace refers to the second pulse insertion point, after end of first pulse.
