Abstract
Liouville – von Neumann equation has been solved numerically to calculate pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signals rigorously in Liouville space taking into account relaxation by spin-phonon modulation of hyperfine and g tensors in single crystal and polycrystalline materials. It is illustrated here for a spin-coupled electron-nuclear system with the electron spin S=1/2 and nuclear spin I=1/2 to calculate the spin echo correlation spectroscopy (SECSY) and echo-electron-electron double-resonance (echo-ELDOR) signals. Both a single-crystal spectrum for a chosen orientation of the external magnetic field with respect to the crystal axes and powder spectrum can be calculated. The flow chart for the simulation is included. The calculations can be carried out on a PC using Matlab within a reasonable time. A software has been developed in Matlab to do these calculations, which only requires to input the parameters on a laptop equipped with Matlab software.
