Physical

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, solid state NMR The Bowers research is presently focused on the mechanisms for nuclear spin order enhancement (e.g. hyperpolarization) for magnetic resonance sensitivity enhancement and the application to problems of importance in materials science and biochemical-physics. Areas of recent research activity include the following: (i) adsorption, diffusion and exchange in nanotube materials for gas separations (ii) studies of dynamics, order/disorder and porosity in polymers by solid state NMR (iii) xenon NMR as a probe of anesthetic properties in lipid membrane bilayers (iv) resistively detected NMR studies in the regime of the quantum Hall effect in GaAs Quantum Wells (v) optically pumped NMR studies.
