Abstract

This paper constitutes a guide for the use of density matrix calculations in the description of multipulse nuclear magnetic resonance experiments. In keeping with its didactic nature, the article follows in more detail than usual the evolution of the density matrix elements from the thermal equilibrium stage to the final magnetization behavior during the detection. Rotation operators covering a wide variety of pulses are presented, together with the formalism necessary to predict the evolution of the spin ensemble between and after pulses. The final calculation of the observables is then described. A two-dimensional nmr sequence is used for “step-by-step” illustration.
