Bimodal Floquet theory of phase-modulated heteronuclear decoupling experiments in solid-state NMR spectroscopy

Abstract

A prescription based on bimodal Floquet theory is proposed to describe the nuances of phase-modulated supercycled decoupling experiments in solids. The frequency dependent interaction frames relevant to a particular supercycle are identified to facilitate faster convergence of perturbation corrections to the derived effective Hamiltonians. In contrast to silico-based methods, the proposed analytic method offers an attractive platform for faster optimization of experiments in solids. Additionally, the relevance of supercycling at ultrafast spinning conditions is also discussed.
