Proton polarization at room temperature, produced in a p-terphenyl crystal by using electron population difference in a photo-excited triplet state of pentacene, was enhanced by utilizing an intense laser with an average power of 1.5 W. It was shown that keeping the sample temperature below 300 K is critically important to prevent the rise of the spin–lattice relaxation rate caused by the laser heating. It is also reported that the magnitude of proton polarization strongly depends on the time structure of the laser pulse such as its width and the time interval between them.

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] bulk water relaxation dependence on temperature
bulk water relaxation dependence on temperature
Is liquid water's relaxation rate strongly dependent on temperature, and does anyone have a link to a good online article with the dependency equation?Thanks!
Check if somebody has answered this question on NMRWiki QA forum

The response of inverse triple resonance cold and conventional probes to ionic strength has been compared under a variety of conditions relevant to protein NMR. Increasing the salt concentration degrades probe performance in terms of sensitivity, and the effect is more severe for cold probes and...

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] Temperature Calibration - An Alternative Method
Temperature Calibration - An Alternative Method
It is well known that the actual temperature of a sample in an NMR probe is not necessarily the same as that read from the variable temperature unit on the spectrometer. This is because the thermocouple used by the variable temperature unit is below the sample tube and not in the center of the rf coil where the NMR measurements are made. One normally must make a calibration plot for the actual temperature vs. the set temperature. For temperatures above room temperature this can be done by employing the known temperature dependent chemical...
