摘要:

内嵌富勒烯将自旋活性原子或离子封装在碳笼中,为自组装阵列(如自旋链)提供了一条途径。在金属富勒烯的情况下,原子和富勒烯笼之间的电荷转移被认为将电子自旋相位相干时间(T2)限制在几微秒的量级。我们研究了几种金属富勒烯的电子自旋弛豫作为温度和溶剂环境的函数,产生的最大T2氘代邻三联苯大于200微秒的Y,Sc和La@C82。控制弛豫的机制(T1,T2)来自金属笼振动模式,自旋轨道耦合和核自旋环境。T2时间比以前报道的长2个数量级以上,因此使金属富勒烯在诸如自旋标记、自旋电子学和量子计算等领域引起人们的兴趣。

英文摘要:

Endohedral fullerenes encapsulating a spin-active atom or ion within a carbon cage offer a route to self-assembled arrays such as spin chains. In the case of metallofullerenes the charge transfer between the atom and the fullerene cage has been thought to limit the electron spin phase coherence time (T2) to the order of a few microseconds. We study electron spin relaxation in several species of metallofullerene as a function of temperature and solvent environment, yielding a maximum T2 in deuterated o-terphenyl greater than 200 microseconds for Y, Sc and La@C82. The mechanisms governing relaxation (T1, T2) arise from metal-cage vibrational modes, spin-orbit coupling and the nuclear spin environment. The T2 times are over 2 orders of magnitude longer than previously reported and consequently make metallofullerenes of interest in areas such as spin-labelling, spintronics and quantum computing.
