Abstract:
Here we review the recent studies on Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) using nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond (NV). First we show the basic principles of DNP and explain its importance for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Then we give an overview of the recently developed DNP methods, which utilize the unique properties of NV centers and demonstrate their advantages compared to conventional DNP techniques. Finally we show the potential applications of diamond based DNP for improving the sensitivity and resolution Magnetic Resoance Imaging (MRI).
