Description

Nuclear-spin--polarized samples of up to 200 Torr 21Ne have been obtained through spin-exchange collisions with optically pumped Rb vapor. The exponential time constant associated with buildup and decay of this polarization along the quantization axis is in excess of 15 h in 3-cm-diam Pyrex cells. From the data and estimates given, samples of 21Ne with densities greater than 1 STP and polarization in excess of 1% appear feasible
