Abstract
The equation of motion of the density matrix of an ensemble of identical spin-1/2 nuclei subject to a rotating-frame radiofrequency field and Zeeman frequency offset is derived from the Schrodinger equation and shown to be equivalent to the magnetization differential equations originally proposed by Bloch (excluding relaxation). The quantum and classical differential equations are then integrated.
期刊介绍:
Concepts in Magnetic Resonance Part A brings together clinicians, chemists, and physicists involved in the application of magnetic resonance techniques. The journal welcomes contributions predominantly from the fields of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), but also encourages submissions relating to less common magnetic resonance imaging and analytical methods.
Contributors come from academic, governmental, and clinical communities, to disseminate the latest important experimental results from medical, non-medical, and analytical magnetic resonance methods, as well as related computational and theoretical advances.
Subject areas include (but are by no means limited to):
-Fundamental advances in the understanding of magnetic resonance
-Experimental results from magnetic resonance imaging (including MRI and its specialized applications)
-Experimental results from magnetic resonance spectroscopy (including NMR, EPR, and their specialized applications)
-Computational and theoretical support and prediction for experimental results
-Focused reviews providing commentary and discussion on recent results and developments in topical areas of investigation
-Reviews of magnetic resonance approaches with a tutorial or educational approach
