The transient dynamics leading to spin turbulence in high-field solution magnetic resonance: a numerical study.

The dynamics under the joint action of radiation damping and the distant dipolar field in high-field solution magnetic resonance are investigated. Different dynamical regimes during the evolution are identified and their individual features are discussed. In the steady state, the dynamics can be associated with a strange attractor in phase space on which the motion is chaotic. The possibility of the observed chaotic motion being spatiotemporal is examined.
