Abstract: Nuclear spin polarization has important applications across various fields, including physics andmedicine. It also offers several advantages, such as cross-section enhancement, in the five-nucleonfusion reactions, namely the D–T and D–$^3$He reactions. This work presents a theoretical studyof spin dynamics in the hyperfine regime for selected atomic and molecular systems and exploresalternative techniques to generate or enhance nuclear spin polarization in these systems. Particularemphasis is placed on coherent spin manipulation strategies and the role of hyperfine interactions intransferring angular momentum from electronic (in atoms) or rotational (in molecules) to nucleardegrees of freedom.
