Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) is a technique used to enhance nuclear polarization in a target material, which is particularly useful in nuclear physics and magnetic resonance applications. The process involves transferring spin polarization from electrons, which are more easily polarized, to nuclei, which are less so. Here’s a general summary of the polarization mechanisms involved and how they work, especially in a scenario where the target is maintained at a temperature of 1 Kelvin and under a magnetic field of 5 Tesla.
