Title: Polarization properties of irradiated ammonia (NH/sub 3/ and ND/sub 3/) at 1 K and 25 kG

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6075887

Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) of irradiated ammonia was examined in some detail at 1 K and 25 kG. It was attempted to gain information about the prevailing mechanism of DNP in this material. Therefore the frequency dependence of DNP in NH/sub 3/, of deuterons and unsubstituted protons in ND/sub 3/, as well as the polarizing time tau and the relaxation time T/sub 1/ in NH/sub 3/ were measured. The polarization measurements in ND/sub 3/ rule out the equal spin temperature (EST) behavior of proton and deuteron DNP that is observed in most of the currently used target materials. It is attempted to explain the observations with a differential solid state effect model. Results of calculations for NH/sub 3/ and ND/sub 3/ incorporating the measured EPR-spectra are presented. 7 references, 11 figures.
