Design of a Beam Separator for FLASH Electron Therapy Facilities

Mike Seidel, Vera Korchevnyuk

A promising modality of radiation therapy is FLASH: a technique in which the full radiation dose is delivered in just 1/10th of a second. This modality has been proven successful in destroying cancerous cells while sparing healthy tissues. The aim is to de ...

NMR Crystallography in the Big Data Era: New Methods and Applications Powered by Machine Learning

Manuel Cordova

Structure determination of materials is key to understanding their physical properties. While single-crystal X-ray diffraction is the gold standard for structures displaying long-range order, many materials of interest are polycrystalline and/or disordered ...

Deuterated TEKPol Biradicals and the Spin-Diffusion Barrier in MAS DNP

David Lyndon Emsley, Dominik Józef Kubicki, Yu Rao, Amrit Venkatesh, Federico De Biasi

The sensitivity of NMR spectroscopy is considerably enhanced by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). In DNP polarization is transferred from unpaired electrons of a polarizing agent to nearby proton spins. In solids, this transfer is followed by the transpo ...

Two-dimensional Pure Isotropic Proton Solid State NMR

David Lyndon Emsley, Manuel Cordova, Pinelopi Moutzouri, Bruno Simões de Almeida, Daria Torodii

One key bottleneck of solid-state NMR spectroscopy is that H-1 NMR spectra of organic solids are often very broad due to the presence of a strong network of dipolar couplings. We have recently suggested a new approach to tackle this problem. More specifica ...

Development of strategies to improve 1H resolution in NMR of solids at 100 kHz magic-angle spinning

Bruno Simões de Almeida

In solid-state NMR, homonuclear dipolar couplings contribute greatly to the broadening of 1H spectral line shapes. Even at the fastest magic-angle spinning rates (MAS) available today [100-150kHz], the linewidths still extend over several hundred Hertz, li ...
