Abstract

The generalized Bloch equations in the rotating frame are solved in Cartesian space by an approach that is different from the earlier Torrey solutions. The solutions are cast into a compact and convenient matrix notation, which paves the way for a direct physical insight and comprehension of the evolution of various magnetization components. The solutions are expressed as a sum of two terms: One describes the decay of the initial state; the other describes the growth of the steady state. The representative trajectories of each component of the above terms plotted separately describe the complete time evolution of each magnetization component.
