Popis: We demonstrate room-temperature 13C hyperpolarization by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) using optically polarized triplet electron spins in two polycrystalline systems: pentacene-doped [carboxyl-13C] benzoic acid and microdia-monds containing NV−centers. For both samples, the integrated solid effect (ISE) is used to polarize the13C spin system in magnetic fields of 350-400 mT. In the benzoic acid sample, the13C spin polarization is enhanced up to 0.12% through directelectron-to-13C polarization transfer without performing dynamic1H polarization followed by 1H-13C cross polarization. In5addition, ISE has been successfully applied for the first time to polarize naturally abundant 13C spins in a microdiamond sample to 0.01%. To characterize the buildup of the13C polarization, we discuss the efficiencies of direct polarization transfer be-tween the electron and13C spins as well as that of13C–13C spin diffusion, examining various parameters which are beneficial or detrimental for successful bulk dynamic13C polarization.
