Create a fitting model

Guess model

Create a guess list of spin systems.

site = Site(
    isotope="2H",
    isotropic_chemical_shift=-90,  # in ppm
    shielding_symmetric=SymmetricTensor(
        zeta=-610,  # in ppm
        eta=0.15,
        alpha=0.7,  # in rads
        beta=2.0,  # in rads
        gamma=3.0,  # in rads
    ),
    quadrupolar=SymmetricTensor(Cq=75.2e3, eta=0.9),  # Cq in Hz
)

spin_systems = [SpinSystem(sites=[site])]

Method

Use the generic method, Method, to generate a shifting-d echo method. The reported shifting-d 2D sequence is a correlation of the shielding frequencies to the first-order quadrupolar frequencies. Here, we create a correlation method using the freq_contrib attribute, which acts as a switch for including the frequency contributions from interaction during the event.

In the following method, we assign the ["Quad1_2"] and ["Shielding1_0", "Shielding1_2"] as the value to the freq_contrib key. The Quad1_2 is an enumeration for selecting the first-order second-rank quadrupolar frequency contributions. Shielding1_0 and Shielding1_2 are enumerations for the first-order shielding with zeroth and second-rank tensor contributions, respectively. See FrequencyEnum for details.

# Get the spectral dimension parameters from the experiment.
spectral_dims = get_spectral_dimensions(experiment)

    channels=["2H"],
