High diffusion-sensitizing magnetic field gradients have been more and more often applied nowadays to achieve a better characterization of the microstructure. As the resulting spin-echo signal significantly deviates from the conventional…

The Bloch-Torrey equation governs the evolution of the transverse magnetization in diffusion magnetic resonance imaging, where two mechanisms are at play: diffusion of spins (Laplacian term) and their precession in a magnetic field gradient…

We consider the Bloch-Torrey operator, $-\Delta + igx$, that governs the time evolution of the transverse magnetization in diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). Using the matrix formalism, we compute numerically the eigenvalues and…

In this work we investigate the emergence of the localization regime for diffusion in various geometries: inside slabs, inside cylinders and around rods arranged on a square array. At high gradients, the transverse magnetization is strongly…

We investigate the peculiar feature of non-Hermitian operators, namely, the existence of spectral branch points (also known as exceptional or level crossing points), at which two (or many) eigenmodes collapse onto a single eigenmode and…

An approximative method for solving the Bloch-Torrey equation in general porous media is presented. The method expand the boundaries defining the porous media using electrostatic charges. As a result the eigenvalue problem of the Laplace…

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the method of choice for noninvasive studies of micrometer-scale structures in biological tissues via their effects on the time/frequency-dependent ("restricted") and anisotropic self-diffusion of water.…

With today's NMR techniques some microscopic geometry of tissue can still not be resolved directly. Often, there is also a specific off resonance field related to this geometry. In this work the impact of these off resonances on the…

The Bloch equation describes the evolution of classical particles tagged with a magnetisation vector in a strong magnetic field and is fundamental to many NMR and MRI contrast methods. The equation can be generalised to include the effects…

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a relatively modern technique used to study tissue microstructure in a non-invasive way. Non-Gaussian diffusion representation is related to the restricted diffusion and can provide information…

The complex transverse water proton magnetization subject to diffusion-encoding magnetic field gradient pulses in a heterogeneous medium such as brain tissue can be modeled by the Bloch-Torrey partial differential equation. The spatial…

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a widely applied non-invasive imaging modality based on non-ionizing radiation which gives excellent images and soft tissue contrast of living tissues. We consider the modified Bloch problem as a model of…

Our goal is to predict the band structure of photonic crystals. This task requires us to compute a number of the smallest non-zero eigenvalues of the time-harmonic Maxwell operator depending on the chosen Bloch boundary conditions. We…

The Global Magnetorotational Instability (MRI) is investigated for a configuration in which the rotation frequency changes only in a narrow transition region. If the vertical wavelength of the unstable mode is of the same order or smaller…

Diffusion-attenuated MR signal for heterogeneous media has been represented as a sum of signals from anisotropic Gaussian sub-domains. Any effect of macroscopic (global or ensemble) anisotropy in the signal can be removed by averaging the…

We study the influence of diffusion on NMR experiments when the molecules undergo random motion under the influence of a force field, and place special emphasis on parabolic (Hookean) potentials. To this end, the problem is studied using…

Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) is an imaging technique with exquisite sensitivity to the microstructural properties of heterogeneous media. The conventionally adopted acquisition schemes involving single pulsed field gradients…

The diffusion motion of spin-bearing molecules is considerably affected in confined environments. In Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) experiments, under the presence of magnetic field gradients, this movement can be encoded in spin phase…

We present a rotation-equivariant unsupervised learning framework for the sparse deconvolution of non-negative scalar fields defined on the unit sphere. Spherical signals with multiple peaks naturally arise in Diffusion MRI (dMRI), where…

In porous material research, one main interest of nuclear magnetic resonance diffusion (NMR) experiments is the determination of the shape of pores. While it has been a longstanding question if this is in principle achievable, it has been…
