Dynamics of frequency-swept nuclear spin optical pumping in powdered diamond at low magnetic fields [Physics]

A broad effort is underway to improve the sensitivity of NMR through the use of dynamic nuclear polarization. Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond offer an appealing platform because these paramagnetic defects can be optically polarized efficiently at room temperature. However, work thus far has been mainly limited to single...
