Attribute Documentation

sites

A list of Site or equivalent dict objects within the spin system. Each site object represents single-site nuclear spin interaction (nuclear shielding and EFG) tensor parameters. The default value is an empty list.

Example

>>> sys1 = SpinSystem()
>>> sys1.sites = [Site(isotope="17O"), Site(isotope="1H")]
>>> # or equivalently
>>> sys1.sites = [{"isotope": "17O"}, {"isotope": "1H"}]
Type:

list of Site or equivalent dict objects (optional)

couplings

A list of Coupling or equivalent dict objects within the spin system. Each coupling object represents two-site spin interaction (J-coupling and Dipolar) tensor parameters. The default value is an empty list.

Example

>>> sys1 = SpinSystem()
>>> sys1.couplings = [
...     Coupling(site_index=[0, 1], isotropic_j=10.1),
...     Coupling(site_index=[2, 1], dipolar={"D": 1500})
... ]
>>> # or equivalently
>>> sys1.couplings = [
...     {"site_index": [0, 1], "isotropic_j": 10.1},
...     {"site_index": [2, 1], "dipolar": {"D": 1500}}
... ]
Type:

list of Coupling or equivalent dict objects (optional)

abundance

The abundance of the spin system in units of %. The default value is 100. The value of this attribute is useful when multiple spin systems are present.

Example

>>> sys1.abundance = 10
Type:

float (optional).

name

The value is the name or id of the spin system. The default value is None.

Example

>>> sys1.name = "1H-17O-0"
>>> print(sys1.name)
1H-17O-0
Type:

str (optional).

label

The value is a label for the spin system. The default value is None.

Example

>>> sys1.label = "Heteronuclear spin system"
>>> print(sys1.label)
Heteronuclear spin system
Type:

str (optional).

description

The value is a description of the spin system. The default value is None.

Example

>>> sys1.description = "A test for the spin system"
>>> print(sys1.description)
A test for the spin system
Type:

str (optional).

transition_pathways

A list of TransitionPathway or equivalent dict objects. Each transition pathway is a list of Transition objects. The resulting spectrum is a sum of the resonances arising from individual transition pathways. The default value is None.

Example

>>> sys1.transition_pathways = [
...     [
...         {"initial": [-2.5, 0.5], "final": [2.5, 0.5]},
...         {"initial": [0.5, 0.5], "final": [-0.5, 0.5]}
...     ]
... ]
>>> print(sys1.transition_pathways)
[|2.5, 0.5⟩⟨-2.5, 0.5| ⟶ |-0.5, 0.5⟩⟨0.5, 0.5|, weight=(1+0j)]

Note

From any given spin system, the list of relevant transition pathways is determined by the NMR method. For example, consider a single site I=3/2 spin system. For this system, a Bloch decay spectrum method will select three transition pathways, one corresponding to the central and two to the satellite transitions. On the other hand, a Bloch decay central transition selective method will only select one transition pathway, corresponding to the central transition.

Since the spin system is independent of the NMR method, the value of this attribute is, therefore, transient. You may use this attribute to override the default transition pathway query selection criterion of the NMR method objects.

Only use this attribute if you know what you are doing.

At times, this attribute may provide a significant improvement in the performance, especially in iterative algorithms, such as the least-squares algorithm, where a one-time transition pathway query is sufficient. Repeated queries for the transition pathways will add significant overhead to the computation.
