    Investigation of room temperature multispin-assisted bulk diamond 13C hyperpolarization at low magnetic fields
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2018) Wunderlich, Ralf; Kohlrautz, Jonas; Abel, Bernd; Haase, Jürgen; Meijer, Jan
    In this work we investigated the time behavior of the polarization of bulk 13C nuclei in diamond above the thermal equilibrium. This nonthermal nuclear hyperpolarization is achieved by cross relaxation between two nitrogen related paramagnetic defect species in diamond in combination with optical pumping. The decay of the hyperpolarization at four different magnetic fields is measured. Furthermore, we use the comparison with conventional nuclear resonance measurements to identify the involved distances of the nuclear spin with respect to the defects and therefore the coupling strengths. Also, a careful look at the linewidth of the signal give valuable information to piece together the puzzle of the hyperpolarization mechanism.

    Robust nuclear hyperpolarization driven by strongly coupled nitrogen vacancy centers
    (Melville, NY : American Inst. of Physics, 2021) Wunderlich, Ralf; Staacke, Robert; Knolle, Wolfgang; Abel, Bernd; Haase, Jürgen; Meijer, Jan
    Nuclear magnetic resonance techniques are widely used in the natural sciences but they lack sensitivity. Therefore, large sample volumes or long measurement times are necessary. In this work, we investigate the polarization of bulk 13C nuclei in a diamond above the thermal equilibrium at room temperature. Previously studied mechanisms utilize direct coupling to nitrogen vacancy centers or the additional assistance of substitutional nitrogen impurities for this purpose. We exploit strongly coupled nitrogen vacancy centers as polarization sources. We study two approaches to transfer the optically induced polarization of the electron spins of the nitrogen vacancy centers to nearby nuclear spins. First, the electron-nuclear polarization transfer is achieved by energy matching conditions or, second, by magnetic field sweeps inducing Landau–Zener-like transitions. Simulations according to a quantum mechanical system consisting of two coupled nitrogen vacancy centers and a weakly coupled 13C spin show an excellent agreement with the experimental data. Both approaches allow a reduction of the measurement time by roughly three orders of magnitude.
