A quantum calculation of the higher order terms in the Bloch-Siegert shift

Abstract

The authors present a fully quantum mechanical calculation of the higher order terms in the Bloch-Siegert shift. Contrary to Cheng and Stehle's (1971) QED calculation, the results are in complete agreement with those of semi-classical approaches, as can be expected in the RF domain.

Theory of the Bloch-Siegert shift

F Ahmad, R. Bullough

The method recently developed for treating Bloch-Siegert shift of the main resonance in a magnetic resonance experiment is successfully applied to the higher order resonances due to multiquantum transitions. A general analytical expression for the (2n+1)th resonances is given. Results for the main and third order resonance in the low or vanishingly low range of static magnetic fields are also reported.

Power series expansion for the RF resonance shift

Stig Stenholm

The author derives an exact semiclassical expression for the generalized Bloch-Siegert shift of the main RF resonances in the limit of vanishing natural line width. Its power series expansion is found to agree with quantum electrodynamic calculations, but a truncated continued fraction expression is shown to represent the exact values much better.

Analytical expressions for the Bloch-Siegert shift

Peter Hannaford, David Thomas Pegg, George William Series

Analytical expressions are obtained for the Bloch-Siegert shift in magnetic resonance experiments using results derived previously by Shirley (1965) Series (1973) from semiclassical theory. These expressions together cover the whole range of the shift from 0 to 100%.
