Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Enhancement of 200 at 21.15 T Enabled by 65 kHz Magic Angle Spinning.

Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance under magic angle spinning (MAS) enhanced with dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is a powerful approach to characterize many important classes of materials, allowing access to previously inaccessible structural and dynamic parameters. Here, we present the first DNP MAS experiments using a 0.7 mm MAS probe, which allows us to reach spinning frequencies of 65 kHz, with microwave irradiation, at 100 K. At the highest magnetic field available for DNP today (21.1 T), we find that the polarizing agent HyTEK2 provides DNP enhancements as high as 200 at a spinning rate of 65 kHz at 100 K, and BDPA yields an enhancement of 106 under the same conditions. Fast spinning rates enable excellent DNP performance, but they also yield unprecedented
