  • Title: Optimization of 1H spin density for dynamic nuclear polarization using photo-excited triplet electron spins.
    Author: Kagawa A, Murokawa Y, Takeda K, Kitagawa M.
    Journal: J Magn Reson; 2009 Mar; 197(1):9-13. PubMed ID: 19091611.
    Abstract:
    In dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) using photo-excited triplet electron spins, known as Microwave-Induced Optical Nuclear Polarization (MIONP), the attainable (1)H polarization is determined by the ratio of the buildup rate and the spin-lattice relaxation rate, in turn depend on the (1)H spin density. It is shown that the final (1)H polarization can be enhanced by diluting the (1)H spins with partial deuteration. The DNP experiments are demonstrated in 0.05 mol% pentacene-doped p-terphenyl for various (1)H abundances. It is also shown that the (1)H spin diffusion coefficient can be determined by examining the initial buildup rate of (1)H polarization for various repetition rates of the DNP sequence.
