strange epr line in a dimer simulated spectrum

I am trying to simulate with easyspin the powder spectrum of a pair of electrons coupled by dipolar interaction. The simulation exhibits a strange line in the middle of the spectrum, which does seem to have any physical meaning (line indicated by an arrow on the attached file). I do not get this line with XSophe. Is there any reason why this line appears with easyspin?
Here is the code for the simulation:
Sys.S=[1/2 1/2];
Sys.g=[2.0 2.0 2;2.0 2.0 2];
D=180;
Sys.ee=D*[1 1 -2];
Sys.lwpp=1;
Exp.mwFreq=34.113;
Exp.Range=[1200 1240];
EXp.ModAmp=0.2;
Options.nKnots=[1000000 6];
Exp.nPoints=8192;
[Field,Spec]=pepper(Sys,Exp);
figure
plot(Field,Spec)

thanks for your help

This is an artifact due to an insufficient number of orientations. If you increase them slightly (in Opt.nKnots), then the spectrum is accurate. Here is the code:

Code: Select all

Sys.S = [1/2 1/2];
Sys.g = [2 2];
Sys.ee = 180*[1 1 -2];
Sys.lwpp = 1;
Exp.mwFreq = 34.113;
Exp.Range = [1200 1240];
Opt.nKnots = 100;
[Field,Spec]=pepper(Sys,Exp,Opt);
plot(Field,Spec)

Thank you very much Stefan
