Magnus Expansion and Relaxation

Let us assume the Hamiltonian describing the spin system to be a sum of a large time-independent term $\mathcal{H}_0$ and a small time-dependent term $\mathcal{H}_1(t)$. Having the section [*] in mind we can directly go to the interaction representation:

 \begin{displaymath}i \hbar \frac{d \widetilde{\rho}}{dt}=\left[ \widetilde{\mathcal{H}}_1(t),
\widetilde{\rho} \right],
\end{displaymath} (3.34)

with
$\displaystyle \widetilde{\rho}$ := $\displaystyle e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}\mathcal H_0 t} \rho
e^{\frac{-i}{\hbar}\mathcal H_0 t}$ (3.35)
$\displaystyle \widetilde{\mathcal H}_1(t)$ := $\displaystyle e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}\mathcal H_0 t}
\mathcal{H}_1(t) e^{\frac{-i}{\hbar}\mathcal H_0 t}.$ (3.36)

For small perturbations $\widetilde{\mathcal H}_1(t)$ or for small t one can expand $\mathrm{exp} \left( \frac{-i}{\hbar}
\widetilde{\mathcal H}_1(t) t \right)$. Together with the first three terms of the expansion of $\widetilde{\rho}$ one obtains -- after some algebra -- the expression

 
$\displaystyle \widetilde{\rho} (t)$ $\textstyle \approx$ $\displaystyle \rho(0) + \frac{-i}{\hbar}
\int_0^t\left[ \widetilde{\mathcal H}_1(t'), \rho(0) \right] dt'
\notag$ (3.37)
  - $\displaystyle \frac{1}{\hbar^2} \int_0^t \int_0^{t'}
\left[\widetilde{\mathcal ...
...\left[
\widetilde{\mathcal H}_1(t''), \rho(0) \right]\right] dt' dt'' + ...
\ .$ (3.38)

If we further assume that the spins reach equilibrium among themselves much faster than they relax with the lattice; or in other words if we assume that the spin system can be described by one single temperature TS, and that the system is basically described by the Zeeman Hamiltonian $\mathcal H_0 \approx -\gamma_\mathrm{N} \hbar H_0 I_z$, the unperturbet density matrix $\rho(0)$ is given by:

 \begin{displaymath}\rho (0) \approx \frac{ \mathbf{1} + \beta \gamma \hbar H_0}
{\mathrm{Tr} \mathbf{1}},
\end{displaymath} (3.39)

with $\beta =k_\mathrm{B} T_S$ This equation holds in the high temperature limit where the energy of the lattice is much larger than the difference between the energy levels.

Since we are interested in a measurable quantity, which the magnetisation recovery for example is, it is sufficient to know only $\left<I_z\right> = \mathrm{
Tr} \widetilde{\rho}(t) I_z$. Together with equation [*] we obtain the result

 \begin{displaymath}\frac{1}{T_1} = \frac{1}{\hbar^2 \mathrm{Tr}I_z^2}
\int_0^\i...
...athcal H}_1(0)]
[\widetilde{\mathcal H}_1(-\tau),I_z] d\tau .
\end{displaymath} (3.40)

It is interesting to notice, that the second term in the expansion ([*]) does not contribute to the recovery and that we therefore had to go to second order. It is suggested to read the application of this equation in the case of a fluctuating transversal field, which can be found in [#!kind!#]. The result will be used in section [*].

Equation ([*]) can be written in a not obviously equivalent way [#!slichter!#]:

\begin{displaymath}\frac{1}{T_1} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{\sum_{m,n}W_{mn}(E_m-E_n)^2}
{\sum_{m}E_m^2},
\end{displaymath} (3.41)

with the transition probability Wmn given by Fermi's golden rule

 \begin{displaymath}W_{mn} = \frac{2 \pi}{\hbar}\sum_{i,f} \left\vert\left<m,i\ve...
...{int}} \vert f,n\right> \right\vert^2 \delta(E_f+E_m-E_i-E_n),
\end{displaymath} (3.42)

with $\mathcal{H}_{\mathrm{int}}$ denoting the interaction of the spin with the lattice due to what ever process3.3, and $\left\vert i,m\right>$ denoting the initial and $\left\vert f,n\right>$ the final state. Which of the two equations is more useful depends on whether the perturbation or the interaction is given.
