hyperpolarisoitumiseen
Hyperpolarisoitumiseen, which translates to hyperpolarization in English, is a phenomenon in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy that significantly enhances the sensitivity of certain atomic nuclei. This technique increases the population difference between nuclear spin states, which are typically very close in energy at standard magnetic field strengths. By creating a larger population difference, the signal detected in an NMR experiment becomes much stronger, allowing for the study of systems that would otherwise be undetectable or very difficult to observe.
Several methods exist to achieve hyperpolarization. Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is a common technique where unpaired
The primary benefit of hyperpolarization is a dramatic increase in signal-to-noise ratio, often by several orders
