Faraday rotation echo spectroscopy and detection of quantum fluctuations
Central spin decoherence is useful for detecting many-body physics in environments and moreover, the spin echo control can remove the effects of static thermal fluctuations so that the quantum fluctuations are revealed. The central spin decoherence approach, however, is feasible only in some special configurations and often requires uniform coupling between the central spin and individual spins...
متن کاملQuantum superposition of high spin states in the single molecule magnet Ni4.
Quantum tunneling of the magnetization in a single molecule magnet has been studied in experiments that combine microwave spectroscopy with high sensitivity magnetic measurements. By monitoring spin-state populations in the presence of microwave radiation, the energy splittings between low lying superpositions of high-spin states of single molecule magnet Ni4 (S=4) have been measured. Absorptio...
متن کاملCoherent manipulation and decoherence of s=10 single-molecule magnets.
We report coherent manipulation of S=10 Fe8 single-molecule magnets. The temperature dependence of the spin decoherence time T2 measured by high-frequency pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance indicates that strong spin decoherence is dominated by Fe8 spin bath fluctuations. By polarizing the spin bath in Fe8 single-molecule magnets at magnetic field B=4.6 T and temperature T=1.3 K, spin decoh...
متن کاملControllable effects of quantum fluctuations on spin free-induction decay at room temperature
Fluctuations of local fields cause decoherence of quantum objects. Usually at high temperatures, thermal noises are much stronger than quantum fluctuations unless the thermal effects are suppressed by certain techniques such as spin echo. Here we report the discovery of strong quantum-fluctuation effects of nuclear spin baths on free-induction decay of single electron spins in solids at room te...
متن کاملElectron Spin Coherence of Phosphorus Donors in Isotopically Purified Si
We investigate spin coherence time of electrons bound to phosphorus donors in silicon single crystals, employing a pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance technique. The samples were isotopically controlled so that they may possess different concentrations (about 5% and 100%) of 29Si, which is the only non-zero-spin (spin-1/2) stable isotope of Si. Both 29Siconcentration dependence and orientati...
