Sensitivity in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), especially in solid-state NMR, has always been a challenging and important issue and thus a motivation for new developments. The magnetic field B0, the gyromagnetic ratios of the observed nuclei, as well as ...
We carried out ac magnetic susceptibility measurements and muon spin relaxation spectroscopy on the cubic double perovskite Ba2YMoO6, down to 50 mK. Below similar to 1 K the muon relaxation is typical of a magnetic insulator with a spin-liquid type ground ...

Magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents are currently designed by modifying their structural and physiochemical properties to improve relaxivity and to enhance image contrast. Here, we show a general method for increasing relaxivity by confining contras ...
Nuclear orientation via electron spin locking (NOVEL) is a technique to orient nuclear spins embedded in a solid. Like other methods of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) it employs a small amount of unpaired electron spins and uses a microwave field to tr ...
By shining mm-waves upon a sample containing unpaired electron spins, DNP provides a way to enhance NMR signals. We report the characterization of a universal polarizer for EM-waves at 140 GHz made by rectangular grooved mirrors as well as design considera ...
The adsorption of benzoic acid and its OH-substituted derivatives, namely, salicylic acid (SA) and parasalicylic acid on various NaCl surfaces has been investigated by density-functional theory with hybrid exchange-correlation functional. The ideal NaCl (1 ...
Many of the functions and applications of advanced materials result from their interfacial structures and properties. However, the difficulty in characterizing the surface structure of these materials at an atomic level can often slow their further develop ...
Two molecules containing two phenylphosphaalkene moieties linked by an anthracene (1) or by a naphthalene (2) ring have been synthesized and their crystal structures have been determined. While electrochemical measurements show that these two systems are e ...
The radical cation salt, ET2MnCuN(CN)(2), [ET=bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene] with an unusual three-dimensional anionic polymeric network is studied by x-ray diffraction, static susceptibility measurements, and electron spin resonance (ESR) at ...
We applied first principles molecular dynamics (MD) technique to study structure, dynamics, and magnetic interactions of the Gd3+ aqua ion dissolved in liquid water, a prototypical system for Gd-based complexes used as contrast agents for magnetic res ...
