Rotating cavity for high-field angle-dependent microwave spectroscopy of low-dimensional conductors and magnets
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cavity perturbation technique is an extremely powerful method for measuring the electrodynamic response of a material in the millimeterand submillimeter spectral range s10 GHz–1 THzd, particularly in the case of high-field/frequency magnetic resonance spectroscopy. However, the application of such techniques within the limited space of a high-field magnet presents significant technical challenges. We describe a 7.62 mm37.62 mm sdiameter3 lengthd rotating cylindrical cavity which overcomes these problems. The cylinder is mounted transverse to the bore of the magnet, coupling is achieved through the sidewalls of the cavity, and the end plate is then rotated sby means of an external drived instead of the body of the cavity itself. Therefore, rotation does not affect the cylindrical geometry, or the mechanical connections to the incoming waveguides. The TE011 mode frequency of the cavity is 51.863 GHz, with the possibility to work on higher-order modes to frequencies of order 350 GHz. Neither the quality factor s,22 000 for the fundamental moded or the coupling to the cavity are significantly affected for full 360° of rotation. The rotation mechanism provides excellent angle resolution s,0.1° d, and is compact enough to enable measurements in the high-field sup to 45 Td magnets at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. Two-axis rotation capabilities are also possible in conjunction with split-pair magnet configurations. We present examples of angle-dependent measurements which illustrate the unique capabilities of this rotating cavity, including: high-field angle-dependent measurements of an unusual form of cyclotron resonance in anisotropic organic conductors; and angle-dependent high-frequency single-crystal electron paramagnetic resonance measurements in single-molecule magnets. © 2005 American Institute of Physics. fDOI: 10.1063/1.1852859g

Angle-resolved mapping of the fermi velocity in a quasi-two-dimensional organic conductor.
We demonstrate a new method for determining the Fermi velocity in quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) conductors. Application of a magnetic field parallel to the conducting layers results in periodic open orbit quasiparticle trajectories along the Q2D Fermi surface. Averaging of this motion over the Fermi surface leads to a resonance in the interlayer microwave conductivity. The resonance frequency is ...

متن کاملMicrowave Spectroscopy of Q1d and Q2d Organic Conductors
This chapter reviews recent experimental studies of a novel open-orbit magnetic resonance phenomenon. The technique involves measurement of angledependent microwave magneto-conductivity and is, thus, closely related to the cyclotron resonance and angle-dependent magnetoresistance techniques. Data for three contrasting materials are presented: (TMTSF)2ClO4, α(BEDT-TTF)2KHg(SCN)4 and κ-(BEDT-TTF)...
