| Research Abstract |
Production of 13C hyperpolarization at room temperature by transferring proton polarization to 13C is proposed. Protons in a crystal of p-terphenyl doped with pentacene was polarized at room temperature by means of a triplet-DNP method. Our research has revealed that 1) a spin-relaxation rate of protons takes minimum in the temperature region of 280?300 K, 2) when a temperature control is introduced, a proton polarization that is a factor of three higher than the previous result (4.8%) was obtained. Experiments to transfer thus-produced proton polarization to 13C will be continued.
