Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) dataset

The following example is a \(^{29}\mathrm{Si}\) NMR time domain saturation recovery measurement of a highly siliceous zeolite ZSM-12. Usually, the spin recovery measurements are acquired over a rectilinear grid where measurements along one of the dimensions are non-uniform or span several orders of magnitude. In this example, we show the use of monotonic dimensions for describing such datasets.

Let’s load the file.

>>> import csdmpy as cp

>>> filename = 'Test Files/NMR/satrec/satRec.csdf'
>>> NMR_2D_data = cp.load(filename)

The tuples of the dimension and dependent variable instances from the NMR_2D_data instance are

>>> x = NMR_2D_data.dimensions
>>> y = NMR_2D_data.dependent_variables

respectively. There are two dimension instances in this example with respective dimension data structures as

>>> print(x[0].data_structure)
{
  "type": "linear",
  "description": "A full echo echo acquisition along the t2 dimension using a Hahn echo.",
  "count": 1024,
  "increment": "80.0 µs",
  "coordinates_offset": "-41.04 ms",
  "quantity_name": "time",
  "label": "t2",
  "reciprocal": {
    "coordinates_offset": "-8766.0626 Hz",
    "origin_offset": "79578822.26200001 Hz",
    "quantity_name": "frequency",
    "label": "29Si frequency shift"
  }
}

and

>>> print(x[1].data_structure)
{
  "type": "monotonic",
  "coordinates": [
    "1 s",
    "5 s",
    "10 s",
    "20 s",
    "40 s",
    "80 s"
  ],
  "quantity_name": "time",
  "label": "t1",
  "reciprocal": {
    "quantity_name": "frequency"
  }
}

respectively. The first dimension is uniformly spaced, as indicated by the linear subtype, while the second dimension is non-linear and monotonic sampled. The coordinates along the respective dimensions are

>>> x0 = x[0].coordinates
>>> print(x0)
[-41040. -40960. -40880. ...  40640.  40720.  40800.] us

>>> x1 = x[1].coordinates
>>> print(x1)
[ 1.  5. 10. 20. 40. 80.] s

Notice, the unit of x0 is in microseconds. It might be convenient to convert the unit to milliseconds. To do so, use the to() method of the respective Dimension instance as follows

>>> x[0].to('ms')
>>> x0 = x[0].coordinates
>>> print(x0)
[-41.04 -40.96 -40.88 ...  40.64  40.72  40.8 ] ms

As before, the components of the dependent variable are accessed using the components attribute.

>>> y00 = y[0].components[0]
>>> print(y00)

Plotting an intensity data with cross-sections

More often than not, the code required to plot the data become exhaustive. Here is one such example.
