ex_dqc(tau1, tau2, tau3, pathways=[1, 2, 3], pulselength=0.016)[source]¶

Generate a 6-pulse DQC dipolar experiment model.

The figure below shows the dipolar pathways in 6-pulse DQC. The pulses and their interpulse delays are shown on the top. The middle table summarizes all detectable modulated dipolar pathways $p$ along their dipolar phase accumulation factors $\mathbf{s}_p$ , harmonics $\delta_p$ and refocusing times $t_{\mathrm{ref},p}$ . The most commonly encountered pathways are highlighted in color. The bottom panel shows a decomposition of the dipolar signal into the individual intramolecular contributions (shown as colored lines).

Parameters:

tau1float scalar: 1st static interpulse delay $\tau_1$ .
tau2float scalar: 2nd static interpulse delay $\tau_2$ .
tau3float scalar: 3rd static interpulse delay $\tau_3$ .
pathwaysarray_like, optional: Pathways to include in the model. The pathways are specified as a list of pathways labels $p$ . By default, pathways 1, 2, and 3 are included as shown in the table above.
pulselengthfloat scalar, optional: Length of the longest microwave pulse in the sequence in microseconds. Used to determine the uncertainty in the boundaries of the pathway refocusing times.

Returns:

experimentExperimentInfo object: Experiment object. Can be passed to dipolarmodel to introduce better constraints into the model.
