Towards NMR of buried interfaces — •Anuschka Schaffner, Hagen Allmrodt, Lars Kraft, Richard Kastelik, Alexander Potzuweit, and Heinz Jänsch — Fachbereich Physik, Philipps-Universität Marburg, D-35032 Marburg

We employ Xe-NMR to investigate surface phenomena by adsorbing hyperpolarized ¹²⁹Xe onto a helium-cooled single crystal and studying the electronic interactions of substrate and adsorbate. The high nuclear spin polarization of the adsorbed Xe-film could be transferred to buried interfaces within the substrate (which then would be accessible for further NMR experiments) via dipolar near distant-field transfer. The proposed distant-field transfer [1] will be discussed. As a test of the here proposed polarization transfer, we use a system of an absorbed hyperpolarized ¹²⁹Xe-film beneath a layer of unpolarized ¹²⁹Xe in a matrix of CO₂, geometrically and spectrally separated. Here, we present the experiments and discuss the transfer mechanism.
