Overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization in alkali metals
In 1953, A.W. Overhauser predicted that nuclear spin polarization could be enhanced by irradiating a metal's electron spin resonance. Here, the authors explore the requirements and limitations of the ...

We just wrapped up in-/ex-situ μ-SR on EMU @isisneutronmuon.bsky.social! We're looking into sodium dynamics in the phases which form when NaNiO2 is electrochemically cycled, and could even measure whilst dis/charging thanks to the Battery and Muon cell!
