Abstract
Current density imaging is helpful for discovering interesting electronic phenomena and understanding carrier dynamics, and by combining pressure distributions, several pressure-induced novel physics may be comprehended. In this work, noninvasive, high-resolution two-dimensional images of the current density and pressure gradient for graphene ribbon and hBN-graphene-hBN devices are explored using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond under high pressure. The two-dimensional vector current density is reconstructed by the vector magnetic field mapped by the near-surface NV center layer in the diamond. The current density images accurately and clearly reproduce the complicated structure and current flow of graphene under high pressure. Additionally, the spatial distribution of the pressure is simultaneously mapped, rationalizing the nonuniformity of the current density under high pressure. The current method opens a significant new avenue to investigate electronic transport and conductance variations in two-dimensional materials and electrical devices under high pressure as well as for nondestructive evaluation of semiconductor circuits.

Liang J, Davoodi H, Wadhwa S, Badilita V, Korvink JG. Broadband stripline Lenz lens achieves 11 × NMR signal enhancement. Sci Rep 2024; 14:1645. [PMID: 38238376 PMCID: PMC10796323 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-50616-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2024] Open
Abstract
A Lenz lens is an electrically passive conductive element that, when placed in a time-varying magnetic field, acts as a magnetic flux concentrator or a magnetic lens. In the realm of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Lenz lenses have been exploited as electrically passive metallic radiofrequency interposers placed between a sample and a tuned or untuned NMR detector in order to focus the [Formula: see text]-field of the detector onto a smaller sample space. Here we explore a novel embodiment of the Lenz lens, which acts as a non-resonant stripline interposer, i.e., the [Formula: see text]-field acts along the longitudinal volume of a sample container, such as a capillary or other microfluidic channel that is coincident with the axis of the stripline. The almost vanishing self-resonance of the stripline Lenz lens, at frequencies relevant for NMR, leads to a desirable [Formula: see text]-field amplitude that is nearly perfectly uniform across the sample and hence lacking a characteristic sinusoidal modal shape. The action of Lenz' law ensures that no stray [Formula: see text]-field is found outside of the stripline's active volume. Because the stripline Lenz lens does not rely on its own geometry to achieve resonance, its frequency response is thus widely broadband for field enhancements up to a factor of 11, with only the external driving resonator properties governing the overall resonant behaviour. We explore the use of the stripline Lenz lens with a sub-nanolitre sample volume, readily detecting 4 isotopes with resonances ranging from 125.76 to 500 MHz. The concept holds potential for the NMR study of thin films, small biological samples, as well as the in situ study of battery materials.

Abstract
Water in Earth's deep interior is predicted to be hydroxyl (OH-) stored in nominally anhydrous minerals, profoundly modulating both structure and dynamics of Earth's mantle. Here, we use a high-dimensional neuro-network potential and machine learning algorithm to investigate the weight percent water incorporation in stishovite, a main constituent of the subducted oceanic crust. We found that stishovite and water prefer forming medium- to long-range ordered superstructures, featuring one-dimensional (1D) water channels. Synthesizing single crystals of hydrous stishovite, we verified the ordering of OH- groups in the water channels through optical and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and found an average H-H distance of 2.05(3) Å, confirming simulation results. Upon heating, H atoms were predicted to behave fluid-like inside the channels, leading to an exotic 1D superionic state. Water-bearing stishovite could feature high ionic mobility and strong electrical anisotropy, manifesting as electrical heterogeneity in Earth's mantle.

Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is commonly employed in a wide range of metabolomic research. Unfortunately, due to its relatively low sensitivity, smaller samples become challenging to study by NMR. Cryoprobes can be used to increase sensitivity by cooling the coil and preamplifier, offering sensitivity improvements of ∼3 to 4x. Alternatively, microcoils can be used to increase mass sensitivity by improving sample filling and proximity, along with decreased electrical resistance. Unfortunately, combining the two approaches is not just technically challenging, but as the coil decreases, so does its thermal fingerprint, reducing the advantage of cryogenic cooling. Here, an alternative solution is proposed in the form of a Lenz lens inside a cryoprobe. Rather than replacing the detection coil, Lenz lenses allow the B1 field from a larger coil to be refocused onto a much smaller sample area. In turn, the stronger B1 field at the sample provides strong coupling to the cryocoil, improving the signal. By combining a 530 I.D. Lenz lens with a cryoprobe, sensitivity was further improved by 2.8x and 3.5x for 1H and 13C, respectively, over the cryoprobe alone for small samples. Additionally, the broadband nature of the Lenz lenses allowed multiple nuclei to be studied and heteronuclear two-dimensional (2D) NMR approaches to be employed. The sensitivity improvements and 2D capabilities are demonstrated on 430 nL of hemolymph and eight eggs (∼350 μm O.D.) from the model organismDaphnia magna. In summary, combining Lenz lenses with cryoprobes offers a relatively simple approach to boost sensitivity for tiny samples while retaining cryoprobe advantages.

Abstract
Metabolomics investigates global metabolic alterations associated with chemical, biological, physiological, or pathological processes. These metabolic changes are measured with various analytical platforms including liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). While LC-MS methods are becoming increasingly popular in the field of metabolomics (accounting for more than 70% of published metabolomics studies to date), there are considerable benefits and advantages to NMR-based methods for metabolomic studies. In fact, according to PubMed, more than 926 papers on NMR-based metabolomics were published in 2021-the most ever published in a given year. This suggests that NMR-based metabolomics continues to grow and has plenty to offer to the scientific community. This perspective outlines the growing applications of NMR in metabolomics, highlights several recent advances in NMR technologies for metabolomics, and provides a roadmap for future advancements.

Structural independence of hydrogen-bond symmetrisation dynamics at extreme pressure conditions. Nat Commun 2022; 13:3042.

Abstract
The experimental study of hydrogen-bonds and their symmetrization under extreme conditions is predominantly driven by diffraction methods, despite challenges of localising or probing the hydrogen subsystems directly. Until recently, H-bond symmetrization has been addressed in terms of either nuclear quantum effects, spin crossovers or direct structural transitions; often leading to contradictory interpretations when combined. Here, we present high-resolution in-situ 1H-NMR experiments in diamond anvil cells investigating a range of systems containing linear O-H ⋯ O units at pressure ranges of up to 90 GPa covering their respective H-bond symmetrization. We found pronounced minima in the pressure dependence of the NMR resonance line-widths associated with a maximum in hydrogen mobility, precursor to a localisation of hydrogen atoms. These minima, independent of the chemical environment of the O-H ⋯ O unit, can be found in a narrow range of oxygen oxygen distances between 2.44 and 2.45 Å, leading to an average critical oxygen-oxygen distance of \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

Abstract
Under extreme conditions of high pressure and temperature, liquids can undergo substantial structural transformations as their atoms rearrange to minimise energy within a more confined volume. Understanding the structural response of liquids under extreme conditions is important across a variety of disciplines, from fundamental physics and exotic chemistry to materials and planetary science.In situexperiments and atomistic simulations can provide crucial insight into the nature of liquid-liquid phase transitions and the complex phase diagrams and melting relations of high-pressure materials. Structural changes in natural magmas at the high-pressures experienced in deep planetary interiors can have a profound impact on their physical properties, knowledge of which is important to inform geochemical models of magmatic processes. Generating the extreme conditions required to melt samples at high-pressure, whilst simultaneously measuring their liquid structure, is a considerable challenge. The measurement, analysis, and interpretation of structural data is further complicated by the inherent disordered nature of liquids at the atomic-scale. However, recent advances in high-pressure technology mean that liquid diffraction measurements are becoming more routinely feasible at synchrotron facilities around the world. This topical review examines methods for high pressure synchrotron x-ray diffraction of liquids and the wide variety of systems which have been studied by them, from simple liquid metals and their remarkable complex behaviour at high-pressure, to molecular-polymeric liquid-liquid transitions in pnicogen and chalcogen liquids, and density-driven structural transformations in water and silicate melts.

Abstract
One of the most striking properties of molecular hydrogen is the coupling between molecular rotational properties and nuclear spin orientations, giving rise to the spin isomers ortho- and para-hydrogen. At high pressure, as intermolecular interactions increase significantly, the free rotation of H2 molecules is increasingly hindered, and consequently a modification of the coupling between molecular rotational properties and the nuclear spin system can be anticipated. To date, high-pressure experimental methods have not been able to observe nuclear spin states at pressures approaching 100 GPa (Meier, Annu. Rep. NMR Spectrosc. 94:1-74, 2017; Meier, Prog. Nucl. Magn. Reson. Spectrosc. 106-107:26-36, 2018) and consequently the effect of high pressure on the nuclear spin statistics could not be directly measured. Here, we present in-situ high-pressure nuclear magnetic resonance data on molecular hydrogen in its hexagonal phase I up to 123 GPa at room temperature. While our measurements confirm the presence of ortho-hydrogen at low pressures, above 70 GPa, we observe a crossover in the nuclear spin statistics from a spin-1 quadrupolar to a spin-1/2 dipolar system, evidencing the loss of spin isomer distinction. These observations represent a unique case of a nuclear spin crossover phenomenon in quantum solids.

Abstract
The structural characterization of high-pressure hydrides has encountered many difficulties mainly due to the weak X-ray scattering of hydrogen. Herein, we investigate the prospect of detecting the H3S and LaH10 structures with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Our calculations demonstrate that the different candidate structures of H3S (or LaH10) exhibit significant differences in the electric field gradient (EFG) tensor of the 33S (or 139La) sites, indicating that the NMR spectroscopy can well capture the structural differences, even the small changes in the atomic position, and hence can be used to effectively probe the structures and the phase transitions of H3S and LaH10. Our results clarify the relationship between the structures and the EFG tensor parameters and provide a potential means to detect the structures of high-pressure hydrides.

Abstract
A "palm" cubic-anvil pressure cell (PCAC) having an outer diameter of 60 mm, the smallest cubic-anvil cell to date, was fabricated to insert in a large-bore superconducting magnet. The pressure cell has a sample space of ϕ 2.5 × 1.5 mm2, which is fairly large for a pressure cell that can reach a high pressure above 4 GPa. Pressure homogeneity was monitored from the 63Cu nuclear-quadrupole-resonance linewidth of Cu2O up to 6.7 GPa. The linewidth first increased with increasing pressure up to 4 GPa and then saturated above 4 GPa. The pressure homogeneity was better than that of a piston-cylinder pressure cell. The PCAC is advantageous because a large sample space and high pressure homogeneity are secured even at high pressures.

Abstract
Pressure can be used to tune the interplay among structural, electronic, and magnetic interactions in materials. High pressures are usually applied in the diamond anvil cell, making it difficult to study the magnetic properties of a micrometer-sized sample. We report a method for spatially resolved optical magnetometry based on imaging a layer of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers created at the surface of a diamond anvil. We illustrate the method using two sets of measurements realized at room temperature and low temperature, respectively: the pressure evolution of the magnetization of an iron bead up to 30 gigapascals showing the iron ferromagnetic collapse and the detection of the superconducting transition of magnesium dibromide at 7 gigapascals.

Abstract
High pressure Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is known to reveal the behavior of matter under extreme conditions. However, until now, significant maintenance demands, space requirements, and high costs of superconducting magnets render its application unfeasible for regular modern high pressure laboratories. Here, we present a table-top NMR system based on permanent Halbach magnet arrays with a diameter of 25 cm and height of 4 cm. At the highest field of 1013 mT, 1H-NMR spectra of ice VII have been recorded at 25 GPa and ambient temperature. The table-top NMR system can be used together with double sided laser heating setups. Feasibility of high-pressure high-temperature NMR was demonstrated by collecting 1H-NMR spectra of H2O at 25 GPa and 1063(50) K. The change in the signal intensity in a laser-heated NMR diamond anvil cell has been found to yield a convenient way for temperature measurements.

Abstract
With the advent of integrated electronics, microfabrication and novel chemistry, NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) methods, embodied in miniaturized spectrometers, have found profound uses in recent years that are beyond their conventional niche. In this work, we extend NMR relaxometry on a minute sample below 20 μL to challenging environment of 150 °C in temperature and 900 bar in pressure. Combined with a single-board NMR spectrometer, we further demonstrate multidimensional NMR relaxometries capable of resolving compositions of complex fluids. The confluence of HTHP (high-pressure high-temperature) capability, minimal sample volume, and reduced sensor envelop and power budget creates a new class of mobile NMR platforms, bringing the powerful analytical toolkit in a miniaturized footprint to extreme operating conditions.

Abstract
An unambiguous crystallographic structure solution for the observed phases II-VI of high pressure hydrogen does not exist due to the failure of standard structural probes at extreme pressure. In this work we propose that nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy provides a complementary structural probe for high pressure hydrogen. We show that the best structural models available for phases II, III, and IV of high pressure hydrogen exhibit markedly distinct nuclear magnetic resonance spectra which could therefore be used to discriminate amongst them. As an example, we demonstrate how nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy could be used to establish whether phase III exhibits polymorphism. Our calculations also reveal a strong renormalization of the nuclear magnetic resonance response in hydrogen arising from quantum fluctuations, as well as a strong isotope effect. As the experimental techniques develop, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy can be expected to become a useful complementary structural probe in high pressure experiments.

Abstract
In recent years microcoils and related structures have been developed to increase the mass sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, allowing this extremely powerful analytical technique to be extended to small sample volumes (<5 μl). In general, microchannels have been used to deliver the samples of interest to these microcoils; however, these systems tend to have large dead volumes and require more complex fluidic connections. Here, we introduce a two-plate digital microfluidic (DMF) strategy to interface small-volume samples with NMR microcoils. In this system, a planar microcoil is surrounded by a copper plane that serves as the counter-electrode for the digital microfluidic device, allowing for precise control of droplet position and shape. This feature allows for the user-determination of the orientation of droplets relative to the main axes of the shim stack, permitting improved shimming and a more homogeneous magnetic field inside the droplet below the microcoil, which leads to improved spectral lineshape. This, along with high-fidelity droplet actuation, allows for rapid shimming strategies (developed over decades for vertically oriented NMR tubes) to be employed, permitting the determination of reaction-product diffusion coefficients as well as quantitative monitoring of reactive intermediates. We propose that this system paves the way for new and exciting applications for in situ analysis of small samples by NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
The decaying nature of magnetic resonance (MR) signals results in a decreasing signal-to-quantization noise ratio (SQNR) over the acquisition time. Here we describe a method to enhance the SQNR, and thus the overall signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), by dynamically adapting the gain of the receiver before analog-to-digital conversion (ADC). This is in contrast to a standard experiment in which the gain is fixed for a single data acquisition and is thus adjusted only for the first points of the signal. The gain adjustment in our method is done automatically in a closed loop fashion by using the envelope of the MR signal as the control signal. Moreover, the method incorporates a robust mechanism that runs along with signal acquisition to monitor the gain modulation, enabling precise recovery of the signals. The automatic adaptive gain (AGAIN) method requires minimal additional hardware and is thus general and can be implemented in the signal path of any commercial spectrometer system. We demonstrate an SNR enhancement factor of 2.64 when applied to a custom spectrometer, while a factor of 1.4 was observed when applied to a commercial spectrometer.

Abstract
Hydrogen bond symmetrisations in H-bonded systems triggered by pressure-induced nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) is a long-known concept but experimental evidence in high-pressure ices has remained elusive with conventional methods. Theoretical works predicted quantum-mechanical tunneling of protons within water ices to occur at pressures above 30 GPa, and the H-bond symmetrisation transition to occur above 60 GPa. Here we used 1H-NMR on high-pressure ice up to 97 GPa, and demonstrate that NQEs govern the behavior of the hydrogen bonded protons in ice VII already at significantly lower pressures than previously expected. A pronounced tunneling mode was found to be present up to the highest pressures of 97 GPa, well into the stability field of ice X, where NQEs are not anticipated in a fully symmetrised H-bond network. We found two distinct transitions in the NMR shift data at about 20 GPa and 75 GPa attributed to the step-wise symmetrisation of the H-bond.

Abstract
The past 15 years have seen an astonishing increase in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) sensitivity and accessible pressure range in high-pressure NMR experiments, owing to a series of new developments of NMR spectroscopy applied to the diamond anvil cell (DAC). Recently, with the application of electro-magnetic lenses, so-called Lenz lenses, in toroidal diamond indenter cells, pressures of up to 72 GPa with NMR spin sensitivities of about 1012 spin/Hz1/2 has been achieved. Here, we describe the implementation of a refined NMR resonator structure using a pair of double stage Lenz lenses driven by a Helmholtz coil within a standard DAC, allowing to measure sample volumes as small as 100 pl prior to compression. With this set-up, pressures close to 100 GPa could be realised repeatedly, with enhanced spin sensitivities of about 5 × 1011 spin/Hz1/2. The manufacturing and handling of these new NMR-DACs is relatively easy and straightforward, which will allow for further applications in physics, chemistry, or biochemistry.

Improved method for MR microscopy of brain tissue cultured with the interface method combined with Lenz lenses. Magn Reson Imaging 2018; 52:24-32.

Abstract
MR in microscopy can non-invasively image the morphology of living tissue, which is of particular interest in studying the mammalian brain. Many studies use live animals for basic research on brain functions, disease pathogenesis, and drug development. However, in vitro systems are on the rise, due to advantages such as the absence of a blood-brain barrier, predictable pharmacokinetics, and reduced ethical restrictions. Hence, they present an inexpensive and adequate technique to answer scientific questions and to perform drug screenings. Some publications report the use of acute brain slices for MR microscopy studies, but these only permit single measurements over several hours. Repetitive MR measurements in longitudinal studies demand an MR-compatible setup which allows cultivation for several days or weeks, and hence properly functioning in vitro systems. Organotypic hippocampal slice cultures (OHSC) are a well-established and robust in vitro system which still exhibits most histological hallmarks of the hippocampal network in vivo. An MR compatible incubation platform is introduced in which OHSC are cultivated according to the interface method following Stoppini et al. In this cultivation method a tissue slice is placed onto a membrane with nutrition medium underneath and a gas atmosphere above, where the air-tissue interface perpendicular to the B0 field induces strong artefacts. We introduce a handling protocol that suppresses these artefacts and increases signal quality significantly to acquire high resolution images of tissue slices. An additional challenge is the lack of available of MR microscopy equipment suitable for small animal scanners. A Lenz lens with an attached capacitor can dramatically increase the SNR in these cases, and wirelessly bring the detection system in close proximity to the sample without compromising the OHSC system through the introduction of wired detectors. The resultant signal gain is demonstrated by imaging a PFA-fixed brain slice with a 72 mm diameter volume coil without a Lenz lens, and with a broadband and a self-resonant Lenz lens. In our setting, the self-resonant Lenz lens increases the SNR 10-fold over using the volume coil only.

Abstract
High pressure nuclear magnetic resonance is among the most challenging fields of research for NMR spectroscopists due to inherently low signal intensities, ultra-small samples that are barely accessible, and overall extremely harsh conditions in the sample cavity of modern high pressure vessels. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the topic of high pressure research and its fairly young and brief relationship with NMR.
