Effect of a SE sequence on an uncoupled spin with precessional frequency Ω.

•Spin-echo pulse sequence removes the dephasing caused by the field inhomogenity.

•Other processes which contribute to the decay of transverse magnetization continue to exert their influence.

How about in the case of coupled spin-systems ?

In the case of coupled spin-systems

• The spin-echo sequence refocuses the chemical shifts.

• It phase modulates the J-couplings that may be present.


23

•Tilts the magnetization vectors with respect to x-axis.

• Swaps the associated spin states of the coupled partner.

25

During the second delay time τ

• The vectors start precessing with exchanged frequencies, namely ΩΑ−2π(JAX/2) and ΩA+2π(JAX/2). Thus, the original vector associated with the spin state αx of spin X, which was precessing with a frequency ΩΑ+2π(JAX/2) during the first time interval τ, acquires a frequency ΩΑ-2π(JAX/2) after the (π)x pulse.


26

At end of the -τ-(πx)-τ- sequence

• The vector αx effectively spans an angle [-ΩΑ-2π(JAX/2)τ + ΩΑ+2π(JAX/2)τ] = 2πJAXτ.

• Its partner βx spans [-ΩΑ+2π(JAX/2)τ + ΩΑ-2π(JAX/2)τ] = -2πJAXτ.

• Thus, the spin-echo sequence in the case of coupled (homo-nuclear) spin system refocuses the chemical shifts, leaving behind the phase modulation due to only the J-couplings.

In the case of “unlike spins”

•The effect of the spin-echo sequence is different depending on whether the (π)x pulse is applied on both spins or only on one of them.

Spin-echo sequences are extensively used in hetero-nuclear experiments. It enables one to retain the chemical shift information of spin X and simultaneously refocus the evolution under the hetero-nuclear coupling JAX.

Product Operator Formalism

39

Let us consider a two-spin system (spin k and spin l; which form a weakly coupled AX spin system. In such a situation, the spectrum of each spin is a doublet. The equilibrium magnetization prior to the application of the first (π/2)y pulse is represented by the density operator at an instant of time 1 as

ρ1 = Ikz + Ilz

The (π/2)y pulse tilts the magnetization of both k and l to x axis, which is given as

ρ2 = +Ikx+Ilx

(π/2)φ (π)ϕ

τ τ t 1 2 3 4 5


40

ρ2 = +Ikx+Ilx

ρ2 evolves during time t1 in the transverse plane under what is called as a free Hamiltonian. The operator consists of two terms namely a chemical shift term (Hδ= ΩκIkz) and a coupling term (HJ=2πJklIkzIlz). As the evolution of both Iky and Ily is identical, we consider only one for our discussion purpose. Later we can extend the same for the other term.

A criterion:

If the two Hamiltonians Hδ and HJ contain commuting parts, then their effects can be considered independently.

[Ikz, IkzIlz] = [Ikz, Ikz]Ilz = 0

The term Ikx evolves under Hδ as follows:

ρ3 = Ikx cos(Ωkτ) + Iky sin(Ωkτ)

ρ3 is transformed into the following by the next nonselective (π)x pulse.ρ4 = Ikx cos(Ωkτ) - Iky sin(Ωkτ)

The term ρ4 further evolves under Hδ during the second τ as follows:

ρ5 = Ikx cos(Ωkτ) + Iky sin(Ωkτ) cos(Ωkτ) - Iky cos(Ωkτ) + Ikx sin(Ωkτ) sin(Ωkτ)

ρ5 = Ikx cos2(Ωkτ) +Ikx sin2(Ωkτ) = +Ikx

At the end of the second τ, the magnetization returns to Ikx

This is precisely what is known as refocussing

How about evolution under HJ ?

Observable CoherencesRules

• POs containing a single transverse component Ix or Iy lead to observable signals. (for example, one spin operators Ikx and Iky)

• POs with more than one transverse component (for example 2IkyIlx) lead to multiple quantum coherences and are not observed.

• POs with one transverse component and rest of the components are z-terms, lead to signals with anti-phase character (for example, 2IkxIlz and 3IkxIlzImz).

Now let us consider the evolution of the term Ikx under HJ:

ρ3 is transformed into the following by the next nonselective (π)x pulse.ρ4 = Ikx cos(πJklτ) + 2IkyIlz sin(πJklτ)

The term ρ4 further evolves under HJ during the second τ as follows:

ρ5 = Ikx cos(πJklτ) + 2IkyIlz sin(πJklτ) cos(πJklτ) + 2IkyIlz cos(πJklτ) - Ikx sin(πJklτ) sin(πJklτ)

Let us consider a heteronuclear two-spin system (spin I and spin S); Automatically they form a weakly coupled AX spin system. In such a situation, the spectrum of each spin is a doublet.

ρ3 is transformed into the following by the next nonselective (π)x pulse (applied only on the spin S).

ρ4 = Ix cos(πJISτ) - 2IySz sin(πJISτ)


ρ5 = Ix cos(πJISτ) + 2IySz sin(πJISτ) cos(πJISτ) - 2IySz cos(πJISτ) - Ix sin(πJISτ) sin(πJISτ)

Thus, in the case of heteronuclear coupled spin system the spin-echo sequence with the application of the π pulse only on the S- spin refocuses heteronuclear J-couplings but the transverse I-magnetization gets frequency labeled.
