    摘要: The invention concerns a method for hyperpolarizing lithium atoms in a mixture by optically pumping, in a sampling cell, atoms of a first type or alkali metal and by spin exchange between the optically pumped electron of the alkali metal and the lithium atom electron. The lithium atoms are preferably oxidized into Li+ ions and accumulated. The nuclear spin polarization of the Li+ ions can be transmitted to a nuclear spin of an anion. The invention also concerns a method for producing substances with nuclear spin polarization in general. In accordance with said method, lithium atoms are optically pumped from atoms of a first type of alkali metal in a sampling cell and hyperpolarized by spin exchange between the optical pumped electron of the alkali metal and the lithium atom electron, the lithium atoms being then oxidized into Li+ ions. Then, the nuclear spin polarization of the Li+ ions is transmitted to another nucleus of an anion. Thus it is possible to obtain hyperpolarized nuclei such as, for example, 13C, 31P or 29Si in solid or liquid phase, in large amounts and at high polarizing levels.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method as well as a device for analyzing a sample, in particular by MR spectroscopy in weak magnetic fields. The method according to the invention for analyzing a sample provides that a hyperpolarized medium is added to a sample and that the chemical shift is determined. The hyperpolarization causes a greater extent of alignment of the nuclei, thus improving the signal-to-noise-ratio in the measurement of the chemical shift. Thus, the sample is exposed to an alternating electromagnetic field and a static magnetic field B0, and the nuclear magnetic resonance is measured. Due to the hyperpolarization, comparatively weak static magnetic fields suffice for determining the chemical shift. Weak magnetic fields within the sense of the invention are fields having a strength of less than 200 G. For example, they are very weak fields in the range of under B0=0.001, T=10 G. The advantage of the determination of the chemical shift in weak fields is that appropriate devices can be manufactured and maintained at comparatively low cost.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for the hyperpolarisation of atomic nuclei by means of optical pumps in a sample cell. Polarisation of an electron spin of an optically pumpable species, which is produced by means of laser light, is transferred to the nucleus spin of an atom which is to be hyperpolarisied. According to the invention, components of the mixture and/or other inert compounds for hyperpolarisation are guided in the sample cell such that the mixture does not come into contact with the inner wall of the sample cell, or does to a small degree. A device for carrying out said method comprises at least one means which guides the components of the mixture of non-optical pumpable species and nuclei which are to be hyperpolarisied, and/or other inert compounds for hyperpolarisation, into the sample cell (5) such that the mixture does not come into contact with the inner wall of the sample cell (5), or does to small degree. As a result, the wall can be prevented from sagging.

    摘要: An apparatus for hyperpolarizing atomic nuclei through optical pumping has a cylindrical optical pumping cell having an inlet and an outlet spaced therefrom. A supply of a mixture of optically pumpable species and hyperpolarizable nuclei is connected to the inlet of the cell. A nozzle at an inlet of the optical pumping cell forms and injects a jet flow of the mixture into the optical pumping cell. It is then drawn out through the outlet such that the mixture touches the inner walls of the optical pumping cell only adjacent the outlet.
