Challenges in preparing, preserving and detecting para-water in bulk: overcoming proton exchange and other hurdles

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Sami Jannin, Aurélien Bornet, Jonas Milani, Diego Carnevale, Daniele Mammoli, Nicola Salvi, Roberto Buratto, Estel Canet Martinez

Para-water is an analogue of para-hydrogen, where the two proton spins are in a quantum state that is antisymmetric under permutation, also known as singlet state. The populations of the nuclear spin states in para-water are believed to have long lifetimes ...

Arnaud Comment, Sami Jannin, Jacques Van Der Klink, Tim Rolf Eichhorn

In standard Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) electron spins are polarized at low temperatures in a strong magnetic field and this polarization is transferred to the nuclear spins by means of a microwave field. To obtain high nuclear polarizations cryogen ...

Cross Polarization for Dissolution Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Experiments at Readily Accessible Temperatures 1.2 < T < 4.2 K

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Sami Jannin, Aurélien Bornet

Cross polarization can provide significant enhancements with respect to direct polarization of low-gamma nuclei such as C-13. Substantial gains in sample throughput (shorter polarization times) can be achieved by exploiting shorter build-up times tau(DNP)( ...

Hyperpolarization of Deuterated Metabolites via Remote Cross-Polarization and Dissolution Dynamic Nuclear Polarization

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

In deuterated molecules such as [1-C-13]pyruvate-d(3), the nuclear spin polarization of C-13 nuclei can be enhanced by combining Hartmann-Hahn cross-polarization (CP) at low temperatures (1.2 K) with dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (D-DNP). The po ...

Measuring absolute spin polarization in dissolution-DNP by Spin PolarimetrY Magnetic Resonance (SPY-MR)

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

Dynamic nuclear polarization at 1.2 K and 6.7 T allows one to achieve spin temperatures on the order of a few millikelvin, so that the high-temperature approximation (Delta E < kT) is violated for the nuclear Zeeman interaction Delta E = gamma B(0)h/(2 pi) ...
