The same calculation can be performed using rotation matrices that
concentrate on each spin in the two-spin system individually rather than
both at the same time. This approach can be particularly useful in
heteronuclear NMR experiments. The matrix representations of the
rotation operators are obtained from the direct products of the single-
spin rotation operators derived previously in [2.115–2.117]. For example,

The resultRx( )¼Rx( )[I]Rx( )[S] is obtained by matrix multiplication
and agrees with [2.176] in the weak coupling limit where¼0.
