Abstract

This paper presents a study of coherent dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) using frequency swept pulses at 94 GHz which optimize the polarization transfer efficiency. Accordingly, an enhancement ℇ∼496 was observed using 10mM trityl-OX063 as the polarizing agent in a standard d8-glycerol:D2O:H2O :: 6:3:1 glassing matrix at 70K. At present this is the largest DNP enhancement reported at this microwave frequency and temperature. Furthermore, the frequency swept pulses enhance the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal and reduce the recycle delay, accelerating the NMR signal acquisition.
