Deuterated TEKPol Biradicals and the Spin-Diffusion Barrier in MAS DNP
David Lyndon Emsley, Federico De Biasi, Yu Rao, Dominik Józef Kubicki, Amrit Venkatesh
The sensitivity of NMR spectroscopy is considerably enhanced by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). In DNP polarization is transferred from unpaired electrons of a polarizing agent to nearby proton spins. In solids, this transfer is followed by the transpo ...
2023Single Chip Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Microsystems
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods are powerful tools employed in many fields, including physics, chemistry, material science, biology, and medicine. The use of NMR methodologies in an even wider range of applications is often hindered by the relativ ...
EPFL2023Solution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of bacterial outer membrane proteins in natively excreted vesicles using engineered Escherichia coli
Gaining structural information on membrane proteins in their native lipid environment is a long-standing challenge in molecular biology. Instead, it is common to employ membrane mimetics, which has been shown to affect protein structure, dynamics, and func ...
WILEY2022Hyperpolarization of inorganic solids
Solid-state NMR can provide information about the atomic level structure and dynamics of materials. It directly probes symmetry and structure at nuclear sites, and is especially useful for investigation of disordered or amorphous solids that lack long rang ...
EPFL2021Electrochemical 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 ...
2020New Approaches to NMR Crystallography
The first full protocol for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) crystallography (NMRX) using chemical shifts was developed a decade ago, and it combines experimental isotropic chemical shifts with crystal structure prediction (CSP) and with the calculation of ...
EPFL2019Design optimization of a CFRP-aluminum joint for a bioengineering application
Lightweight design demands and complexity requirements of modern high-end structures in aerospace, automotive, sports and bioengineering can be successfully covered by a combination of fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) with metallic components. Conventional ...
Cambridge University Press (CUP)2019A Learned Shape-Adaptive Subsurface Scattering Model
Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini
Subsurface scattering, in which light refracts into a translucent material to interact with its interior, is the dominant mode of light transport in many types of organic materials. Accounting for this phenomenon is thus crucial for visual realism, but exp ...
ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2019NMR spectroscopy of single sub-nL ova with inductive ultra-compact single-chip probes
Giovanni Boero, Franck Vincent, Marco Grisi, Nicola Harris, Beatrice Volpe
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy enables non-invasive chemical studies of intact living matter. However, the use of NMR at the volume scale typical of microorganisms is hindered by sensitivity limitations, and experiments on single intact orga ...
2017Effect of plasma geometry on divertor heat flux spreading: MONALISA simulations and experimental results from TCV
Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Federico Nespoli, Roberto Maurizio
Safe ITER operations will rely on power spreading to keep the peak heat flux within divertor material constraints. A solid understanding and parameterization of heat flux profiles is therefore mandatory. This paper focuses on the impact of plasma geometry ...
