Abstraet. Four Ib-type synthetic diamond crystals were studied by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP)-enhanced high resolution solid state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The home built DNP magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR spectrometer operates at a field strength of 1.9 T and the highest DNP enhancement factor of synthetic diamonds carne near to 103. Comparing with Ib-type natural diamonds, the 13C NMR linewidths of synthetic diamonds in static spectra are broader. The ~3C spin-lattice relaxation time and DNP polarization time of synthetic diamond are shorter than those of Ib-type natural diamond. From the hyperfine structure of the DNP enhancement curve, four kinds of nitrogen-centred free radicals could be identified in synthetic diamond.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
