• Abstract summary: We report evaluation of every rotationally driven relaxation process in liquid state for 1e1n and 2e1n spin systems. A previously unreported cross-correlation DNP (CCDNP) mechanism was identified for the 2e1n system. We found realistic spin Hamiltonian parameters that yield stronger nuclear polarisation at high magnetic fields than dipolar cross-relaxation.

• Abstract: At the magnetic fields of common NMR instruments, electron Zeeman frequencies are too high for efficient electron-nuclear dipolar cross-relaxation to occur in solution. The rate of that process fades with the electron Zeeman frequency as omega^{-2} - in the absence of isotropic hyperfine couplings, liquid state dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP) in high-field magnets is therefore impractical. However, contact coupling and dipolar cross-relaxation are not the only mechanisms that can move electron magnetisation to nuclei in liquids: multiple cross-correlated (CC) relaxation processes also exist, involving various combinations of interaction tensor anisotropies. The rates of some of those processes have more favourable high-field behaviour than dipolar cross-relaxation, but due to the difficulty of their numerical - and particularly analytical - treatment, they remain largely uncharted. In this communication, we report analytical evaluation of every rotationally driven relaxation process in liquid state for 1e1n and 2e1n spin systems, as well as numerical optimisations of the steady-state DNP with respect to spin Hamiltonian parameters. A previously unreported cross-correlation DNP (CCDNP) mechanism was identified for the 2e1n system, involving multiple relaxation interference effects and inter-electron exchange coupling. Using simulations, we found realistic spin Hamiltonian parameters that yield stronger nuclear polarisation at high magnetic fields than dipolar cross-relaxation.

  The origin and function of chirality in DNA, proteins, and other building blocks of life represent a central question in biology. We use reconfigurable nanoscale control over conductivity at the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface to create chiral electron potentials that explicitly lack mirror symmetry. We interpret resonances as arising from an engineered axial spin-orbit interaction within the chiral region.

  Carbon nanoribbon or nanographene qubit arrays can facilitate quantum-to-quantum transduction between light, charge, and spin. We study spin decoherence due to coupling with a surrounding nuclear spin bath of an electronic molecular spin of a vanadyl phthalocyanine (VOPc) molecule integrated on an armchair-edged graphene nanoribbon (GNR) We find that the decoherence time $T$ is anisotropic with respect to magnetic field orientation and determined only by nuclear spins on VOPc and GNR.

Our findings offer new insights into the use of physical rotation for quantum control with implications for quantum systems having motional and rotational degrees of freedom that are not fixed.
