Using a spin-temperature approach, we describe a scheme of adiabatic cross polarization, based on demagnetization/remagnetization, when the Zeeman order of abundant nuclei in the laboratory frame is first adiabatically converted into the dipolar order, and then, into the Zeeman order of rare nuclei. The scheme, implemented with two low-power frequency-sweeping pulses, is very efficient for static samples and can significantly increase polarization of rare nuclei, compared to the conventional Hartmann–Hahn cross polarization. The experimental examples are presented for a solid, liquid crystal, and small molecules in a liquid-crystalline solvent.
