    Abstract:

    We report the observation of intrinsic optical transistor action in a homeotropically aligned nematic liquid-crystal film, resulting from the large nonlinearity associated with the optical Freedericksz transition in the nematic sample. No external feedback is employed.

    Insensitive Nuclei Enhanced by Polarization Transfer (INEPT)

    Insensitive Nuclei Enhanced by Polarization Transfer (INEPT) is an advanced Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technique specifically designed to detect and enhance the signals of low-abundance nuclei, such as carbon-13 and nitrogen-15, in small molecules. The fundamental principle behind INEPT is the transfer of polarization from a more abundant and highly polarizable nucleus, typically hydrogen-1, to the low-abundance nucleus of interest. This process effectively boosts the NMR signal of the...
