TmDOTP: An NMR-based thermometer for magic angle spinning NMR experiments

November 11, 2019 - Knowing the actual sample temperature in a solid-state NMR experiment is crucial in many ways. Many different approaches exist from measuring the chemical shift difference in spectra of ethylene glycol (solution-state NMR spectroscopy) to measuring the peak position in lead nitrate or the T1 relaxation times of KBr (solid-state NMR spectroscopy).

Determination of sample temperature in unstable static fields by combining solid-state 79Br and 13C NMR

September 24, 2014 - This is not an article about DNP-NMR spectroscopy, however, it deals with the measurements of temperatures in solid-state NMR experiments using KBR and referencing its chemical shift to 13C of adamantane in unstable magnetic fields.

Remote sensing of sample temperatures in nuclear magnetic resonance using photoluminescence of semiconductor quantum dots

June 6, 2014 - This article is not exclusively about DNP-NMR spectroscopy, but describes an interesting approach of measuring cryogenic temperatures using a simple fiber optic-based setup.
