Model

This implements the phase-shift arising from a hard-shell excluded-volume model, with spin concentration $c_s$ (in μM) and the radius of the spherical excluded volume $R_\mathrm{ex}$ (in nm).

The expression for this model is

$B(t) = \exp \Bigg(- i c_\mathrm{s}\lambda_k \bigg( V_\mathrm{ex} \mathrm{Im}\{\mathcal{K}_0(t, R_\mathrm{ex})\} + \mathcal{I}_\mathrm{C}(t) \bigg)$

where $\mathcal{I}_\mathrm{C}(t)$ is an integral without analytical form given by

$\mathcal{I}_\mathrm{C}(t) = \frac{4\pi}{3} D\,t \int_0^1 \mathrm{d}z~(1 - 3z^2) ~ \mathrm{C_i}\left( \frac{D\,t (1 - 3z^2)}{R_\mathrm{ex}^3 } \right)$

where $\mathrm{C_i}$ is the cosine integral function and $D$ is the dipolar constant

$D = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{(g_\mathrm{e}\mu_\mathrm{B})^2}{\hbar}$
