Description
Book SynopsisIn nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) the demand for compact, low-cost instruments that can substitute expensive superconducting magnets is growing. Although compact NMR devices based on permanent magnets that can resolve 1H chemical shift differences are commercially available, the magnetic field strength of these devices is limited, which sets boundaries to the signal intensity and quality. Hyperpolarization techniques to boost the NMR signal beyond ist thermally given polarization are well known and applied on superconducting magnets. Thus, implementing these methods on compact NMR instruments will be the next step of development to gain an increased signal quality and widen the range of applications for those magnets.
One part of this thesis deals with the development of compact magnets for an X-Band Overhauser Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (ODNP) setup and the construction of the hyperpolarization hardware itself. Two concepts of small open-access magnets are presented, simu
