Exchange lineshape reference

We shall shortly consider such fundamental concepts as density matrices and the superoperator formalism which are convenient to use in a formulation of the lineshape theory of NMR spectra. The general equation of motion for the density matrix of a non-exchanging spin system is formulated in the laboratory (non-rotating) reference frame. The lineshape of a steady-state, unsaturated spectrum is given as the Fourier transform of the free induction decay after a strong radiofrequency pulse. The equations provide a starting point for the formulation of the theory of dynamic NMR spectra presented in Section III. The reader who may be interested in a more detailed consideration of the problems is referred to the fundamental works of Abragam and...
