Jay Erker: Application of the Dirac-Frenkel-McLachlan-Heller Time Dependent Variation of Parameters to NMR Problems

Jay Erker, University of California, Davis

Abstract

The time dependent Dirac-Frenkel-Mclachlan-Heller variation of parameters (DFMH method) is used to model two NMR problems that do not have analytical solutions, diffusion in a quadratic field gradient and radiation damping in an inhomogeneous field. Initial results related to the treatment of chemical exchange treated as a distribution and the application of the DFMH method to pulsed RF Gradients will be mentioned.
