Blatter-type radicals as polarizing agents for electrochemical overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Holger Frauenrath, Christophe Roussel, Felipe Andres Saenz Padilla, Jonas Milani, Mika Antero Tamski

Overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization (O-DNP) refers to a microwave-assisted process where an unpaired electron's (e.g. a radical) spin polarization is transferred to surrounding nuclei in solution, thus increasing the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) si ...

Method for the preparation of a sample comprising highly polarized nuclear spins and uses and devices for such a method

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Christophe Roussel, Jonas Milani, Mika Antero Tamski

Method for the preparation of a sample comprising highly polarized nuclear spins, comprising at least the following steps: a) bringing a polarization system, which using an electrochemical reaction can be converted into an EPR-active radical form thereof, ...

Spin-dependent charge transfer at chiral electrodes probed by magnetic resonance

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Christophe Roussel, Felix Blumenschein, Mika Antero Tamski

Chirality-induced spin selectivity is evidenced by exciting the spin resonance of radicals in an electrochemical cell where the working electrode is covered with a chiral self-assembled monolayer. Because the electron transfer to and from the paramagnetic ...

Stabilization of p-GaAs electrode surfaces in organic solvent by bi-phenyl rings for spin dependent electron transfer studies

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Christophe Roussel, Mika Antero Tamski

Biphenyl-4-thiol (B4t) functionalised p-GaAs photocathodes were compared to non-functionalised p-GaAs ones in the presence of methyl viologen cation radical (MV+•) as a redox mediator. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS ...

Electrochemical Overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Christophe Roussel, Jonas Milani, Mika Antero Tamski

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy suffers from low sensitivity due to the low nuclear spin polarization obtained within practically achievable external magnetic fields. Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) refers to techniques that increase the N ...

Probing charge transfer processes at p-GaAs electrodes under weak optical excitation

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Christophe Roussel, Felix Blumenschein, Mika Antero Tamski

The p-GaAs photocathode/acetonitrile interface was characterised in the dark and with tens of mu W/cm(2) laser powers at 830 nm wavelength, using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Two redox mediators were used that p ...
