Dual NMR-EPR Detection in an Ultra Low Temperature DNP Spectrometer
During the 37th session of the Global NMR Discussion Meetings on Zoom, Kan Tagami, University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), gave a talk on the instrumentation aspects of a dynamic nuclear polarization spectrometer with dual nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) detection at ultra-low temperatures.

Kan's research interest is in the spin physics and instrumentation of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) in solid state NMR. His goal is to improve the efficiency of solid state DNP under MAS through development of both EPR and NMR instruments, as well as use a wide variety of existing magnetic resonance techniques to characterize and exploit the underlying mechanisms of DNP. Currently, his focus is on development of a low temperature (30K), high field (7T) pulsed EPR/DNP spectrometer with magic angle spinning capabilities.
