Sol-gel coated polarization vessels

A polarization cell for hyperpolarizing a noble gas is described. The polarization cell is sized and configured to hold a quantity of noble gas an alkali metal and comprises a substrate material with an interior surface coated with a glass coating deposited from a sol-gel. The sol-gel coating on the...

Zusammenfassung:A polarization cell for hyperpolarizing a noble gas is described. The polarization cell is sized and configured to hold a quantity of noble gas an alkali metal and comprises a substrate material with an interior surface coated with a glass coating deposited from a sol-gel. The sol-gel coating on the substrate is configured to withstand exposures to spin-exchange interactions with optically pumped alkali metal vapor.
