The authors report on 63 Cu NMR relaxation measurements in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 6+x samples having similar T c's but a different structural ordering of the Cu(1)O chains. It is found that the gap in the spin excitations estimated from 63 Cu (2) nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1, varies from 110 K up to 190 K depending on the sample. This observation suggests that there is not a one to one relationship between the hole concentration and the amplitude of the spin-gap in the normal state of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 6+x. The sizeable variation in the gap, related to the different ordering of the Cu(1)O chains, is tentatively explained in the framework of a phase separation scenario where Cu(1)O chains act as pinning wells for the stripes.

In this paper, we report on an entirely novel way of improving the MAS-DNP efficiency by shaped μw pulse train irradiation for fast and broad-banded (FAB) saturation of the electron spin resonance. FAB-DNP achieved with Arbitrary Wave Generated shaped μw pulse trains facilitates effective and selective saturation of a defined fraction of the total electron spins, and provides superior control over the DNP efficiency under MAS. Experimental and quantum-mechanics based numerically simulated results together demonstrate that FAB-DNP significantly outperforms CW-DNP when the EPR-line of PAs is broadened by conformational distribution and exchange coupling. We demonstrate that the maximum benefit of FAB DNP is achieved when the electron spin-lattice relaxation is fast relative to the MAS frequency, i.e. at higher temperatures and/or when employing metals as PAs. Calculations predict that under short T<sub>1e </sub>conditions AWG-DNP can achieve as much as ~4-fold greater enhancement compared to CW-DNP.
