AbstractAtomic spins for quantum technologies need to be individually addressed and positioned with nanoscale precision. C60 fullerene cages offer a robust packaging for atomic spins, while allowing in-situ physical positioning at the nanoscale. However, achieving single-spin level readout and control of endofullerenes has so far remained elusive. In this work, we demonstrate electron paramagnetic resonance on an encapsulated nitrogen spin (14N@C60) within a C60 matrix using a single near-surface nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond at 4.7 K. Exploiting the strong magnetic dipolar interaction between the NV and endofullerene electronic spins, we demonstrate radio-frequency pulse controlled Rabi oscillations and measure spin-echos on an encapsulated spin. Modeling the results using second-order perturbation theory reveals an enhanced hyperfine interaction and zero-field splitting, possibly caused by surface adsorption on diamond. These results demonstrate the first step towards controlling single endofullerenes, and possibly building large-scale endofullerene quantum machines, which can be scaled using standard positioning or self-assembly methods.

Abstract Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of trivalent gadolinium have been investigated in orthorhombic sulfate host crystals MeSO4 with Me = Sr, Ba, Cd, Hg, Pb and K2SO4 . Because of the low symmetry of the host crystals and the spin quantum number 7/2, complex spectra for several orientations of the magnetic field containing a large number of individual lines had to be analyzed. The spin Hamiltonian parameters have been rigorously determined from the rotational diagrams. Gd3+ has been found to substitute, first of all, for the monoclinic sites of the host metal ion with charge compensation at larger distances. To a small extent, charge compensation in the vicinity has also been observed, arising from additional centres and spectra with lower intensities. Correlations between EPR spectra and crystal structure are reflected in the values of the zero field splitting parameters.

Abstract Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of trivalent chromium and iron ions have been investigated in host crystals of double sulfates with langbeinite structure, A2B2(SO4)3 , with A = NH4+, Rb+, Tl+ and B = Cd2+, Mg2+. In most cases, single crystals could be grown, and the spin Hamiltonian parameters have been determined from the rotational diagrams. Powder spectra were analyzed and simulated as well. Three centres of axial symmetry with different zero field splittings have been observed for Cr3+, and two for Fe3+. The trivalent impurity ions have been shown to occupy divalent lattice sites substitutionally, but the environments are different depending on the structure and the mechanism of charge compensation. A qualitative description of the incorporation of dopants has been possible on this basis, taking into account the local relaxation and the ligand field stabilization effects. Temperature dependent single crystal and powder measurements have provided information on the zero field splitting and phase transitions.

AbstractThree different Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) signals, one trigonal and two orthorhombic, which originates from iron-indium pairs in silicon are investigated. It is shown that the two orthorhombic spectra can be explained as transitions within the two doublets of a S=3/2 system with a large zero-field splitting. The temperature dependence of-the intensities reveals that the newly discovered spectrum corresponds to the lower doublet and that the zero-field splitting is 9.8 ± 2.0 cm-1.

Abstract The cubic (high temperature) phase of some langbeinites, A+2 B22+(SO4)3 with 11 different combinations of A and B type cations, doped with Mn2+, is investigated by EPR. Powder or single crystal spectra are measured at X-band. They indicate centers of axial symmetry in all cases. In 6 of the langbeinites two centers are found which differ considerably in intensity. Both centers are substitutional defects (Mn in the crystallographically nonequivalent divalent B ion sites). For the more intense one the zero field splitting parameter is proved to be negative in all cases. That center is assigned to the more spacious site which, depending on the cation size, allows for local relaxation. It is shown by comparison with predictions of the superposition model that relaxation appears to be effective

The biocrystallization process and the prescence of manganese in sagitta otoliths is described for the first time via electron paramagnetic spectroscopy. Spectra of Mn2+ are applied to verify inter-species differences in 12 Sciaenidae species and geographic variations among three stocks of banded croaker Paralonchurus brasiliensis and rake stardrum Stellifer rastrifer. Similar spectra shape and zero-field splitting D (22.4 mT) indicated that the biocrystallization process is the same for all fish species, at any stage of development and under different environmental conditions, corresponding to Mn2+ in the aragonite (CaCO3). Inter-species differences in Mn2+ concentration were detected regarding the otolith shape. Elongated otoliths have higher manganese concentrations compared to rounded otoliths. Geographic variations among stocks of P. brasiliensis and S. rastrifer could be detected. Fish stocks under riverine influence have less Mn2+ concentration than ones under marine influence. Manganese detection via electron paramagnetic spectroscopy is a non-destructive approach that can be useful in fish stocks studies.
