Resumen:
In this work, we study
the decoherence that occurs during the evolution of dipolar coupled
nuclear spin systems using solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
(NMR). The decoherence processes lead to a loss of information that can
be quantified through a Loschmidt echo (LE). The LEs are those
generated by reverting the time evolution of a system. We focus on
experimental implementations of several LEs as quantifiers of
decoherence in many body spin systems by changing the sign of the
Hamiltonians.LE Implementations with different Hamiltonians and
different systems can provide information to differentiate intrinsic
decoherence, i.e. that induced by the own interactions of the system,
from that arising on experimental imperfections. We probe the
spin dynamics with two Hamiltonians, a rotated dipolar Hamiltonian, Hxx
~ (2IxjIxk- IzjIzk- IyjIyk), and a double quantum Hamiltonian HDQ ~
(I+jI+k + I-jI-k), on two spin systems: adamantane, that involves an
infinite 1/2 spin network with only intermolecular dipolar interactions
and the liquid crystal 5CB in the nematic phase, where only
intramolecular dipolar interactions survive giving rise to a closed
system of a finite number of spins. The spin dynamics are analyzed by
comparing the evolution of Multiple Quantum Coherences (MQC). The
experiments were performed using a Bruker Avance II spectrometer
operating at a ¹H resonance frequency of 300.13 MHz at 300 K.
