Short description (English)

New family of Planar Probes for Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Enhanced Nuclear Magnetic|Resonance

Abstract (German)

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a widespread tool used for research in Chemistry, Physics and|Biology. NMR Spectroscopy performances are greatly enhanced by Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP).|This technique involves irradiating samples with terahertz waves in order to excite the electron spin|resonance. An innovative DNP-NMR probe based on a planar geometry has been recently patented by|EPFL and CNR(I). Among other umprecedented features, this new piece of instrumentation (the probe) will|allow the study of biological samples at room temperature.
