DNP of 129Xe has the potential to be used for clinical
application in MR imaging of the lung parenchyma and
structure. Achieving high polarization values are
paramount to achieving this goal. Here we demonstrate
the utility of pellet formation (on the mm scale) for
substantial gains in DNP efficiency in the solid state.
