Origin of metallic-like behavior in disordered carbon nano-onions

Oleg Yazyev, Kristians Cernevics

Carbon nano-onions are a class of nanomaterials that can exhibit long electron spin relaxation times at room temperature and thus hold promise as potential building blocks for spintronics and quantum information processing devices. Despite first being synt ...

Dynamic nuclear polarisation of 1H in Gd-doped In(OH)3

David Lyndon Emsley, Michael Allan Hope, Amrit Venkatesh, Yuxuan Zhang

Dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP) of solids doped with high-spin metal ions, such as Gd3+, is a useful strategy to enhance the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensitivity for these samples. Spin diffusion can relay polarisation throughout a sample, which ...
