Dear all,

We would like to invite you to the 84th Global NMR meeting on Tuesday April 30th. Dr Giuseppe Pileio from the University of Southampton, UK will give a tutorial talk on:

Title: Long-loved nuclear singlet spin order and its applications

Abstract: Nuclear singlet spin order is the population difference between the singlet and triplet states in a system of two coupled spin-1/2 nuclei. This form of order is long-lived, silent and accessible on demand. For almost two decades, my research activities were focused at exploiting these three main properties of nuclear spin order to develop new applications in NMR and MRI. In this talk, I will introduce the concept and the main features of singlet order as well as the tools developed for its manipulations. I will then show how we are using this form of order to enhance several NMR and MRI techniques for the long-term storage of hyperpolarisation, to obtain a new form of contrast in MRI, for the measurements of slow diffusion and flow, or for the determination of structural features of porous media such as tortuosity and structural anisotropy through singlet-assisted diffusion NMR.
