Evolution of solid state systems containing mutually coupled dipolar and quadrupole spins: perturbation treatment.
Perturbation approach to time evolution of multi-spin systems containing quadrupole and dipolar spins has been presented and discussed. The treatment comprises polarization transfer effects, field-dependent relaxation processes of dipolar as well as quadrupole spins and combined results of both of them. Complete theories dealing with various aspects of the spin dynamic processes have been proposed. Because of an educational character of this paper, relevant assumptions, limitations and even particular steps of the proposed treatments have been discussed in detail. Special emphasis is put on understanding of validity regimes of the perturbation treatment, depending on relative strengths of spin interactions and timescales of relevant motional processes affecting them. Motional regimes required for spins to be involved in essentially different evolution pathways like polarization transfers or relaxation have been illustrated by experimental examples.
