A cryogen-free, semi-automated apparatus for bullet-dynamic nuclear polarization with improved resolution

<p>In dissolution-dynamic nuclear polarization, a hyperpolarized solid is dissolved with a jet of hot solvent. The solution is then transferred to a secondary magnet, where spectra can be recorded with improved sensitivity. In bullet-dynamic nuclear polarization this order is reversed. Pressu...
