• Abstract summary: We show that at below 10 mT, a $13$C polarization of 5 % can be obtained, equivalent to an enhancement ratio over $7 times 106$. By aligning the magnetic field along [100], the number of NV spins participating in polarization transfer increases fourfold.

• Abstract: Optically polarizable nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond enables the hyperpolarization of $^{13}$C nuclear spins at low magnetic field and room temperature. However, achieving a high level of polarization comparable to conventional dynamic nuclear polarization has remained challenging. Here we demonstrate that, at below 10 mT, a $^{13}$C polarization of 5 % can be obtained, equivalent to an enhancement ratio over $7 \times 10^6$. We used high-purity diamond with a low initial nitrogen concentration ($<$ 1 ppm), which also results in a long storage time exceeding 100 minutes. By aligning the magnetic field along [100], the number of NV spins participating in polarization transfer increases fourfold. We conducted a comprehensive optimization of field intensity and microwave (MW) frequency-sweep parameters for this field orientation. The optimum MW sweep width suggests that polarization transfer occurs primarily to bulk $^{13}$C spins through the integrated solid effect followed by nuclear spin diffusion.

  We show the possibility of obtaining external spin-polarization by magnetic-field sweeps across the level anticrossings around zero-field. Results pave the way for hyperpolarization of spins in nanomaterials near the diamond surface without experiencing polarization loss to intrinsic nuclear spin-1/2 species. The 11B spins in h-BN nanosheets, with their extended relaxation time and large surface area, present a promising alternative for relayed nuclear polarization to the liquid phase.
