Methods Library

For convenience, mrsimulator offers the following pre-built methods -

An example of the syntax that all library methods follows is shown below.

from mrsimulator.method import SpectralDimension
from mrsimulator.method.lib import BlochDecaySpectrum

lib_method = BlochDecaySpectrum(
    channels=["29Si"],  # list of isotopes
    magnetic_flux_density=4.7,  # T
    rotor_angle=57.735 * 3.1415 / 180,  # rad
    rotor_frequency=10000,  # Hz
    spectral_dimensions=[
        SpectralDimension(count=512, spectral_width=5e4, reference_offset=10),
    ],
)

where BlochDecaySpectrum can be replaced with another library method class. Each method has the channels attribute, which is a list of isotopes probed by the method as well as the magnetic_flux_density, rotor_angle, and rotor_frequency attributes which define the global experiment parameters. See Table 6 for more details.

The method object also has the spectral_dimensions attribute, which contains a list of SpectralDimension objects defining the spectral grid. A 2D method will have two spectral dimensions in this list, whereas a 1D method will only have one. See Table 7 for the attributes of a SpectralDimension object.

Bloch Decay Spectrum

The BlochDecaySpectrum class simulates the Bloch decay spectrum.

from mrsimulator.method.lib import BlochDecaySpectrum
from mrsimulator.method import SpectralDimension

method = BlochDecaySpectrum(
    channels=["1H"],
    rotor_frequency=12500,  # in Hz
    rotor_angle=54.735 * 3.14159 / 180,  # in rad
    magnetic_flux_density=9.4,  # in tesla
    spectral_dimensions=[
        SpectralDimension(
            count=1024,
            spectral_width=25e3,  # in Hz
            reference_offset=-4e3,  # in Hz
        )
    ],
)

            spectral_width=3e3,  # in Hz
            reference_offset=-2e3,  # in Hz
            label="Isotropic dimension",
        ),
        SpectralDimension(

            reference_offset=-5e3,  # in Hz
            label="MAS dimension",
