Hyperpolarization of nitrogen-15 nuclei by cross polarization and dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Sami Jannin, Aurélien Bornet, Jonas Milani, Basile Vuichoud

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) is often achieved by the direct transfer of polarization from electrons to nuclei such as C-13, induced by microwave saturation of the wings of narrow EPR lines of radicals like trityl. In the indirect approach on the oth ...
