We introduce a new class of semi-windowless pulse sequences for homonuclear decoupling in solids. The development and optimization of the multiple-pulse sequences relies on the definition of quality factors that reflect the proximity of the created effective Hamiltonian to the desired Hamiltonian. A quality factor based on the average Hamiltonian theory gives a global view of the existing solutions. However, the sequences were optimized using a quality factor based on exact numerical solutions of the Liouville von Neumann equation. The new decoupling sequences are stable over a wide range of coupling constants and chemical shifts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
