摘要:

电子自旋共振(ESR)描述了一套表征电子系统的技术,在物理学,材料科学,化学和生物学中有应用。然而,传统ESR技术对大电子自旋系综的要求限制了它们的空间分辨率。在这里,我们提出了一种方法,用于测量的ESR谱的纳米级电子环境,通过测量的弛豫时间($T_1$)的光学寻址的单自旋探针,因为它是系统地调谐到与目标电子系统的共振。作为一个概念的证明,我们提取的光谱分布的P1电子自旋浴在金刚石中使用的氮空位中心的合奏,并表现出良好的协议与理论预期。由于在这个实验中每个NV自旋的响应由平均距离为2.7nm的单个P1自旋主导,因此将这种全光学技术扩展到单个NV情况将使原子和分子自旋系统的纳米级ESR谱成为可能。

英文摘要:

Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) describes a suite of techniques for characterising electronic systems, with applications in physics, materials science, chemistry, and biology. However, the requirement for large electron spin ensembles in conventional ESR techniques limits their spatial resolution. Here we present a method for measuring the ESR spectrum of nanoscale electronic environments by measuring the relaxation time ($T_1$) of an optically addressed single-spin probe as it is systematically tuned into resonance with the target electronic system. As a proof of concept we extract the spectral distribution for the P1 electronic spin bath in diamond using an ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy centres, and demonstrate excellent agreement with theoretical expectations. As the response of each NV spin in this experiment is dominated by a single P1 spin at a mean distance of 2.7\,nm, the extension of this all-optical technique to the single NV case will enable nanoscale ESR spectroscopy of atomic and molecular spin systems.
