Hyperpolarization (physics)
text:
Hyperpolarization is the spin polarization of the atomic nuclei of a material in a magnetic field far beyond thermal equilibrium conditions determined by the Boltzmann distribution. It can be applied to gases such as ⁱ⁹Xe and He, and small molecules where the polarization levels can be enhanced by a factor of 10⁴–10⁵ above thermal equilibrium levels. Hyperpolarized noble gases are typically used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lungs.
Hyperpolarized small molecules are typically used
