From chemistry-request@ccl.net Wed Feb 12 11:19:13 1992 Date: Wed, 12 Feb 1992 09:47 CST From: BROWNK@sask.usask.ca Subject: Product Operator Calculations To: chemistry@ccl.net Status: R I should have been somewhat more specific about my problem. My apologies. Part of the trouble is that the original paper uses plenty of Greek symbols so its difficult to reproduce them on the screen. Hmmm .... here is what I'll do. Let 'pi' stand for Greek lower case pi, 'Sig' stand for Greek upper case sigma, 'sig' stand for Greek lower case sigma and 'ta' stand for Greek lower case tau. The k's, l's, x's, y's and z's are subscripts. Now, the (to me) offending equations and text are: --------------------------------------------------------------------- 3/2pi Sig Ikx Sig piJkl2ta2IkzIlz pi/2 Sig Ikx sig(t_) --------------> --------------------> --------------> sig(t+2ta) (49) This can be simplified to: Sig piJkl2taIkyIly sig(t_) --------------------> sig(t+2ta) (50) --------------------------------------------------------------------- This is as close to the original text as I can manage on my terminal. I understand that IkyIly is the analog of IkzIlz and how to use it but I am puzzled at how the simplification from equation (49) to equation (50) is made. It is very likely something quite trivial that I am missing but I would certainly appreciate some illumination. ============================================================================== Keith Brown Department of Chemistry Magnetic Resonance Laboratory University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon, Saskatchewan BROWNK@SASK.USASK.CA
