The invention concerns a method for the hyperpolarisation ofC nuclear spin in a diamond, comprising an optical pumping step, in which colour centre electron spins in the diamond are optically pumped. The method further comprises a transfer step in which the polarisation of a long-lived state of the colour centre electron spins is transferred toC nuclear spins in the diamond via a long-range interaction.
