The n.m.r. spectrum observed during irradiation of pivalaldehyde dissolved in perfluoromethylcyclohexane indicates the formation of several compounds whose hydrogens are spin polarized. These compounds are 2-methylpropane, 2-methylpropene, and pivalaldehyde. A mechanism involving radical reactions which is consistent with these results is presented. According to this mechanism, the primary photochemical step is cleavage of the bond between the carbonyl carbon and the tertiary carbon of the t-butyl group. In contrast, this step does not appear to be important for acetaldehyde. As a test of the proposed mechanism CCl4 is added to trap free radicals. In this case, one of the products is CCl3COH. A mechanism for the formation of this and the other products having nuclear spin polarization is presented.

13C-NMR experiments were performed on photo-excited fully and partially 13C-labelled LOV2 domains of the blue-light receptor phototropin. In the present paper, we report on nuclear-spin polarized tryptophan resonances that are generated by light-induced intraprotein electron transfer to the FMN cofactor. The spectra are discussed with respect to earlier data obtained from 13C-NMR experiments on unlabelled LOV2 domains that have been reconstituted with FMN 13C isotopologues.

AbstractWe have investigated an InAs channel Hall-bar structure with ferromagnetic spin injector in one of the current terminals. After magnetizing the Fe electrode, spin polarized electrons are injected through the edge of the isolation mesa structure and the anomalous Hall voltage is observed, when electrons are injected from the ferromagnetic terminal. However, when electrons are injected from the non-magnetic metal (Ti/Au) of opposite terminal, the Hall voltage disappeared to the variation error level due to the fabrication imperfections. This result suggests the possibility that out-of-plane spin injection from the channel edge lead to perpendicular nuclear magnetic field. It is presumably caused by nuclear spin polarization in InAs channel near the spin source edge through Overhauser effect. The estimated internal magnetic field was 2000 Gauss.

The transfer of nonequilibrium spin polarization between the electron and nuclear subsystems is studied in detail. Usually, a thermal orientation of nuclei in magnetic field is negligible due to their small magnetic moments, but if electron spins are optically oriented, efficient nuclear spin polarization can occur. The microscopic approach to the dynamical nuclear polarization effect based on the kinetic equation method, along with a phenomenological but very powerful description of dynamical nuclear polarization in terms of the nuclear spin temperature concept is given. In this way, one can account for the interaction between neighbouring nuclei without solving a complex many-body problem. The hyperfine interaction also induces the feedback of polarized nuclei on the electron spin system giving rise to a number of nonlinear effects: bistability of nuclear spin polarization and anomalous Hanle effect, dragging and locking of optical resonances in quantum dots. Theory is illustrated by experimental data on dynamical nuclear polarization.
