Effet conduisant à une polarisation dynamique des spins nucléaires, observé dans un métal ou un semi-conducteur soumis à un champ magnétique, lorsque la polarisation des spins électroniques est détruite par application d’un champ hyperfréquence. 3, record 1, French, - effet%20Overhauser
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Considérons deux spins homonucléaires proches dans l’espace, chacun d’eux exerce sur l’autre un champ magnétique local. Ce phénomène est plus spécifiquement appelé relaxation dipolaire croisée ou effet Overhauser. Le système de spins est décrit par quatre niveaux d’énergie. 4, record 1, French, - effet%20Overhauser
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L’effet se traduit par l’apparition d’une polarisation nucléaire importante due au couplage entre spins électroniques et spins nucléaires. 3, record 1, French, - effet%20Overhauser
