Genetic algorithms and solid state NMR pulse sequences

▸ Genetic algorithms for MAS NMR pulse-sequence optimisation. ▸ High DQF eXciency for large CSA and/or small dipolar coupling systems. ▸ Optimised pulse sequence robust over a wide range of parameters. ▸ Requires only minimal a priori knowledge of the spin system. ▸ Asynchronicity of r.f. pulses and sample spinning.
