Dynamic nuclear polarization can be used to hyperpolarize the bulk of proton-free inorganic materials in magic angle spinning NMR experiments. The hyperpolarization is generated on the surface of the material with incipient wetness impregnation and from there it is propagated towards the bulk through homonuclear spin diffusion between weakly magnet...

A new pulse sequence aimed to filter out NMR signals coming from thermally polarized protons in PHIP experiments based on the OPSY pulse sequence (Only Parahydrogen SpectroscopY) is presented. In analogy to OPSY, which removes thermal polarization by using a pair of magnetic field gradient pulses with an intensity ratio 1:2 and equal duration, the ...

3D iDOSY-HMBC pulse sequences allow the simplification of HMBC data of mixtures via separation in the diffusion domain. The presented methods utilize incorporated DOSY approach, iDOSY, where the existing delays of the basic pulse sequence are utilized for diffusion attenuation. In the simplest form of the proposed 3D iDOSY-HMBC sequences, no extra ...

This article describes the development of a two-channel surface coil array for Overhauser-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (OMRI) with the aim of extending the visualization area. The surface coil array consists of two independent surface coil resonators and PIN-diode switches. We utilized the PIN-diode switch to decouple the surface coils. OMRI...

Nuclear spin hyperpolarization derived from parahydrogen can enable nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging with sensitivity enhancements exceeding four orders of magnitude. The NMR signal enhancement is proportional to 4xp-1, where xp is the parahydrogen mole fraction. For convenience, many labs elect to carry out the ortho-para conver...

Ultra-fast magic-angle spinning (UFMAS) at a MAS rate (ωR/2π) of 60 kHz or higher has dramatically improved the resolution and sensitivity of solid-state NMR (SSNMR). However, limited polarization transfer efficiency using cross-polarization (CP) between 1H and rare spins such as 13C still restricts the sensitivity and multi-dimensional application...

One-dimensional spin chains are important testbeds for the investigation of quantum many-body systems. Here, we introduce a new quasi-one-dimensional chain of spin-1/2 1H nuclei in hambergite (Be2BO3(OH)) crystal. The distinctive feature of hambergite is the zig-zag arrangement of the spins in the chains compared to the systems reported earlier. A ...

Cerebral stroke greatly contributes to death and disability rates in China and the whole world. Effective non-invasive imaging device for bedside monitoring of stroke is critically needed in clinically. This study developed a lightweight (350 kg) and low-footprint magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system for brain imaging. Static magnetic field was ...

Dipolar recoupling sequences have been used to probe spatial proximity of nuclear spins and were traditionally designed to probe rare spins such as 13C and/or 15N nuclei. The multi-spin dipolar-coupling network of the rare spins is weak due to smaller couplings and large chemical shift dispersion. Therefore, the recoupling approaches were tailored ...

Multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is used to examine the chemical structures of the studied systems. Unfortunately, the application of NMR spectra is limited by their long acquisition time, especially for 3D, 4D, and higher dimensional spectra. Non-uniform sampling (NUS) has been widely recognized as a powerful tool to ...
