A method for the preparation of a hyperpolarized solution of molecules comprises the steps: 1) suspending or coating of a micro-particulate matrix, which is comprising or consisting of the molecules, with a glass-forming solution or suspension comprising a ...
Big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) relates key cosmological parameters to the primordial abundance of light elements. In this paper, we point out that the recent observations of cosmic microwave background anisotropies by the Planck satellite and by the BICEP2 ...
Applying pressure to water reduces the average oxygen-oxygen distance, and facilitates the delocalisation of protons along the hydrogen bond. This pressure-induced delocalisation is further enhanced by the quantum nature of hydrogen nuclei, which is very s ...
A method for producing hyperpolarized sample material for use in magnetic resonance investigations, with a) preparing a target material, containing high gamma nuclei with a short T1, - a polarizing agent with a broad EPR line, and low gamma nuclei with a l ...
This Letter shows that interleaved sequences of short pulses in the manner of 'Delays Alternating with Nutation for Tailored Excitation' (DANTE) with N = 1,2,3 . . . equidistant pulses per rotor period extending over K rotor periods can be used to excite, ...
Composite pulses of the type (tau(p))(x)(2 tau(p))(-x)(3 tau(p))(x) allow one to excite the central transition of nuclei with half-integer spin with enhanced efficiency compared to a simple (tau(sp)(p))(x) pulse. The method has been tested on solid samples ...
ISOLDE, the CERN Isotope Separator On-line DEvice is a unique source of low energy beams of radioactive isotopes - atomic nuclei that have too many or too few neutrons to be stable. The facility is like a small 'chemical factory', giving the possibility of ...
