Free induction decay Lorentzian function

Matched filter The multiplication of the free induction decay with a sensitivity enhancement function that matches exactly the decay of the raw signal. This results in enhancement of resolution, but broadens the Lorentzian line by a factor of 2 and a Gaussian line by a factor of 2.5. 

The free induction decay following 90° pulse has a line shape which generally follows the Weibull functions (Eq. (22)). In the homogeneous sample the FID is described by a single Weibull function, usually exponential (Lorentzian) (p = 1) or Gaussian (p = 2). The FID of heterogeneous systems, such as highly viscous and crosslinked polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) 84), hardened unsaturated polyesters 8S), and compatible crosslinked epoxy-rubber systems 52) are actually a sum of three... 

A pseudo solid-like behavior of the T2 relaxation is also observed in i) high Mn fractionated linear polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS), ii) crosslinked PDMS networks, with a single FID and the line shape follows the Weibull function (p = 1.5)88> and iii) in uncrosslinked c/.s-polyisoprenes with Mn > 30000, when the presence of entanglements produces a transient network structure. Irradiation crosslinking of polyisoprenes having smaller Mn leads to a similar effect91 . The non-Lorentzian free-induction decay can be a consequence of a) anisotropic molecular motion or b) residual dipolar interactions in the viscoelastic state. 

A nuclear magnetic resonance line is usually found to have one of two ideal lineshapes - Gaussian, or more often, Lorentzian. A Gaussian line is found when there is a random distribution of static fields within the sample. A Lorentzian line by contrast arises because the spin lifetime follows a first-order decay law. Weighting functions can be applied to a free-induction decay to generate...
