Abstract

Dynamic nuclear polarization and the spin-temperature concept of nuclear Zeeman reservoirs are systematically used to obtain spin-dependent scattering lengths bN of separate isotopes in the same target A simple generalization shows the way to measure bN for nuclei invisible by nuclear magnetic resonance. It shows also how to obtain precise ratios of bN for different isotopes or of spin-dependent absorption and scattering of the same isotope. Values of bN are given for 13C, 35Cl, 79Br, 81Br as well as upper limits for 31P, 37Cl and 41K
