Low detection sensitivity stemming from the weak polarization of nuclear spins is a primary limitation of magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging. Methods have been developed to enhance nuclear spin polarization but they typically require high magnetic fields, cryogenic temperatures or sample transfer between magnets. Here we report bulk, room-temperature hyperpolarization of (13)C nuclear ...

magnesium oxide nanotubes of finite length are investigated by the density functional theory (dft) at the b3lyp/6-31g (d) level. the (6, 0) zigzag and (4, 4) armchair of mgo nanotubes were considered and nuclear magnetic resonance properties including isotropic and anisotropic chemical shielding parameters (csi and csa) were calculated for 25mg and 17o atoms of the optimized structures for the ...

Quantum dense coding has been demonstrated experimentally in terms of quantum logic gates and circuits in quantum computation and NMR technique. Two bits of information has been transmitted through manipulating one of the maximally entangled two-state quantum pair, which is completely consistent with the original ideal of Bennett-Wiesner proposal. Although information transmission happens betwe...

This review covers the progress in the field of NMR imaging (NMRI), NMR microimaging, NMR microscopy or MR (micro) tomography as well as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) over a period from June 2005 to may 2006 and is a continuation of the report from last year. The word ‘‘MRI’’ was used mostly in the medical or clinical field, but recently many authors in non-medical field uses ‘‘MRI’’ instead...

What we call “nuclear magnetic resonance” (NMR) was developed simultaneously but independently by Edward Purcell and Felix Bloch in 1946. The experimental method and theoretical interpretation they developed is now called “continuous-wave NMR” (CWNMR). A different experimental technique, called “pulsed NMR” (PNMR), was introduced in 1950 by Erwin Hahn. Pulsed NMR is used in magnetic resonance i...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) cryoporometry is a technique for non-destructively determining pore size distributions in porous media through the observation of the depressed melting point of a confined liquid. It is suitable for measuring pore diameters in the range 2 nm – 1 μm, depending on the absorbate. Whilst NMR cryoporometry is a pertabative measurement, the results are independent of ...
