High-Field Magic-Angle Spinning Electron Paramagnetic Resonance
Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) is the most widely applicable method for solving the main problem of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR): its low sensitivity. This is achieved by polarization transfer from electron spins to nuclear ones, allowing for up to two orders of magnitude signal enhancement, which enabled the expansion of NMR to multiple systems previously unamenable to it. Despite two decades of extensive research, DNP is yet to reach its full potential, the bottleneck being the quantum-mechanical understanding. While Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) experiments have provided multiple insights on static DNP mechanisms, leading to improved DNP experiments, analogous EPR…
