H NMR noise measurements in hyperpolarized liquid samples
نویسندگان
چکیده
Noise measurements of nuclear spin systems using a tuned circuit can reveal the signatures of two different phenomena: Thermal circuit noise absorbed by the spin system, and nuclear spin-noise leading to tiny fluctuating magnetization components. Polarization enhancement can increase the observed noise amplitudes due to an enlarged coupling with the reception circuit. In this work we explore the detection of noise in H NMR of liquid water samples whose spin alignment is enhanced via ex situ dynamic nuclear polarization. A number of ancillary phenomena related to this kind of experiments are also documented. ! 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Enhancement of SQUID-detected NMR signals with hyperpolarized liquid 129Xe in a 1 microT magnetic field.
We report an enhancement of proton NMR signals by a factor of 10(6) by cross polarization with hyperpolarized liquid 129Xe in an ultralow magnetic field of 1 microT. The NMR signals from cyclopentane, acetone, and methanol are detected using a commercial high-T(c) SQUID magnetometer with a signal-to-noise ratio of up to 1000 from a single 90 degrees tipping pulse. This technique allows a wide r...
متن کاملIn-Vivo NMR of Hyperpolarized He in the Human Lung at Very Low Magnetic Fields
We present NMR measurements of the diffusion of hyperpolarized 3He in the human lung performed at fields much lower than those of conventional MRI scanners. The measurements were made on standing subjects using homebuilt apparatus operating at 3 mT. O2-limited transverse relaxation (T2 up to 15-35 s) could be measured in-vivo. Accurate global diffusion measurements have been performed in-vivo a...
متن کاملHeteronuclear cross-relaxation effects in the NMR spectroscopy of hyperpolarized targets.
Dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) enables high-sensitivity solution-phase NMR experiments on long-lived nuclear spin species such as (15)N and (13)C. This report explores certain features arising in solution-state (1)H NMR upon polarizing low-γ nuclear species. Following solid-state hyperpolarization of both (13)C and (1)H, solution-phase (1)H NMR experiments on dissolved samples r...
متن کاملDemonstration of Heterogeneous Parahydrogen Induced Polarization Using Hyperpolarized Agent Migration from Dissolved Rh(I) Complex to Gas Phase
Parahydrogen-induced polarization (PHIP) was used to demonstrate the concept that highly polarized, catalyst-free fluids can be obtained in a catalysis-free regime using a chemical reaction with molecular addition of parahydrogen to a water-soluble Rh(I) complex carrying a payload of compound with unsaturated (C═C) bonds. Hydrogenation of norbornadiene leads to formation of norbornene, which is...
متن کاملA rapid and precise probe for measurement of liquid xenon polarization.
The relaxation time of liquid (129)Xe is very long (>15 min) and the signal at thermal equilibrium is weak. Therefore, determination of the absolute polarization enhancement of hyperpolarized (129)Xe by direct measurement is tedious. We demonstrate a fast and precise alternative, based on the dipolar field created by liquid hyperpolarized (129)Xe contained in a cylindrical sample tube. The dipo...
