\subsection{Varying the Polarization Time}  We first measured the Larmor frequency, as described in the Methods, and found a value of $1.852\pm0.018~kHz$, which is very close as the manual says that the precession frequency should be approximately 2 kHz. We expect magnetization, and therefore voltage, to change exponentially with changing polarization time according to Equation~\ref{eq:growthrate} \textbf{(cite manual)}. \cite{TeachSpin}.  By plotting data for three different times after the polarization field was no longer applied, as shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:measurepolarizationtime} and discussed in the Methods, we could fit the data to Equation~\ref{eq:growthrate} and obtain values for the spin-lattice relaxation time ${T_1}$, which should be the same for our three different curves. We found ${T_1}=2.15\pm0.05 s$. \subsection{Varying the Current}
