• Abstract summary: Nuclear spin hyperpolarization techniques, such as dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and parahydrogen-induced polarization (PHIP) have revolutionized nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging. We show that a pseudo-spin formalism allows us to establish an intriguing equivalence between DNP and PHIP. This establishes a correspondence between key polarization transfer sequences in PHIP and DNP, facilitating the transfer of sequence development concepts.

• Abstract: Nuclear spin hyperpolarization techniques, such as dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and parahydrogen-induced polarization (PHIP), have revolutionized nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging. In these methods, a readily available source of high spin order, either electron spins in DNP or singlet states in hydrogen for PHIP, is brought into close proximity with nuclear spin targets, enabling efficient transfer of spin order under external quantum control. Despite vast disparities in energy scales and interaction mechanisms between electron spins in DNP and nuclear singlet states in PHIP, a pseudo-spin formalism allows us to establish an intriguing equivalence. As a result, the important low-field polarization transfer regime of PHIP can be mapped onto an analogous system equivalent to pulsed-DNP. This establishes a correspondence between key polarization transfer sequences in PHIP and DNP, facilitating the transfer of sequence development concepts. This promises fresh insights and significant cross-pollination between DNP and PHIP polarization sequence developers.

• Role of Quantum Coherence in Chirped Dynamic Nuclear Polarization [0.0]
  Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) is transforming NMR and MRI by significantly enhancing sensitivity through the transfer of polarization from electron spins to nuclear spins via microwave irradiation. The use of monochromatic continuous-wave (CW) irradiation limits the efficiency of DNP for systems with heterogeneous broad EPR lines. Broad-band techniques such as chirp irradiation offer a solution, particularly for Solid Effect (SE) DNP in such cases.

• Two-electron two-nucleus effective Hamiltonian and the spin diffusion barrier [0.16385815610837165]
  Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) involves a polarization transfer from unpaired electrons to hyperfine coupled nuclei. Hyperfine coupling is considered to suppress nuclear dipolar flip-flop transitions, hindering the transport of nuclear hyperpolarization into the bulk. An energy-conserving electron-nuclear four-spin flip-flop is identified, which combines an electron dipolar with a nuclear dipolar flip-flop process.

• Hyperpolarisation of nuclear spins: polarisation blockade [0.0]
  pulse-based protocols have been shown to efficiently transfer optically induced polarisation of the electron defect spin to surrounding nuclear spins. We find that whenever polarisation resonances of nuclear spins are near-degenerate with a blocking' spin, which is single spin with stronger off-diagonal coupling to the electronic central spin, they are displaced out of the central resonant region.

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.

  We show that for systems of electronic spin $Sgeq1$ possessing an intrinsic zero-field splitting, a separate class of stronger hyperfine interactions may be utilised to improve DNP efficiency and yield. We analytically review existing methods, and determine that this approach increases the rate of polarisation transfer to the nuclear ensemble by up to an order of magnitude over existing techniques.
