Measurements of short distances between trityl spin labels with CW EPR, DQC and PELDOR

January 8, 2014 - This article does not describe any DNP-NMR experiments. However, in the light of biradicals as polarizing agents for DNP experiments it is still very interesting.

Magic-Angle Spinning NMR of Cold Samples

December 27, 2013 - Solid-state DNP experiments are often performed at cryogenic temperatures and this article is an excellent review about the current technologies to spin samples at (very) low temperatures.

SedNMR: On the Edge between Solution and Solid-State NMR

December 23, 2013 - Sedimented samples (states) can be described as a “microcrystaline glass”, which provide a new approach for the preparation of DNP samples.
