    Full text link
    The first observation of the resolved Mims electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectra from the nearby and remote nuclei of 19F and 7Li nuclei on impurity Ce3+ ions in LiYF4 crystal is reported. It shows that LiYF4:Ce3+ system can be exploited as a convenient matrix for performing spin manipulations and adjusting quantum computation protocols while ENDOR technique could be used for the investigation of electron-nuclear interaction with all the nuclei of the system and exploited for the electron-nuclear spin manipulations.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, 1 Table.

    Inhomogeneity of the intrinsic magnetic field in superconducting YBa2Cu3OX compounds as revealed by rare-earth EPR-probe

    Full text link
    X-band electron paramagnetic resonance on doped Er3+ and Yb3+ ions in Y0.99(Yb,Er)0.01Ba2Cu3OX compounds with different oxygen contents in the wide temperature range (4-120)K have been made. In the superconducting species, the strong dependencies of the linewidth and resonance line position from the sweep direction of the applied magnetic field are revealed at the temperatures significantly below TC. The possible origins of the observed hysteresis are analyzed. Applicability of the presented EPR approach to extract information about the dynamics of the flux-line lattice and critical state parameters (critical current density, magnetic penetration depth, and characteristic spatial scale of the inhomogeneity) is discussedComment: 17 pages, 5 Figures.

    X-band electron paramagnetic resonance experiments on doped Er 3+ and Yb3+ ions in YBa2Cu3O X (6<X<7) compounds with different oxygen contents in a wide temperature range (4-120 K) have been performed. In the superconducting species at temperatures significantly below TC, strong dependences of the linewidth and resonance line position on the sweep direction of the applied magnetic field are revealed. The possible origins of the observed hysteresis are analysed. The applicability of the presented EPR approach to extract information about the dynamics of the flux-line lattice and critical state parameters (critical current density, JC, magnetic penetration depth, λ, and characteristic spatial scale of the inhomogeneity) is discussed. © 2005 IOP Publishing Ltd

    Temperature dependence of the EPR linewidth of Yb3+ - ions in Y0.99Yb0.01Ba2Cu3OX compounds: Evidence for an anomaly near TC

    Full text link
    Electron paramagnetic resonance experiments on doped Yb3+ ions in YBaCuO compounds with different oxygen contents have been made. We have observed the strong temperature dependence of the EPR linewidth in the all investigated samples caused by the Raman processes of spin-lattice relaxation. The spin-lattice relaxation rate anomaly revealed near TC in the superconducting species can be assigned to the phonon density spectrum changesComment: 10 pages, 4 figures Renewed versio

    Coherent spin dynamics of impurity Yb3+ ions in the CaWO4 single crystal has been studied using X - and W -band EPR. Rabi oscillations of the sample magnetization with damping times comparable to their period, driven by pulses of the microwave field with duration up to 5μs, were observed. The largest value of the single-qubit figure of merit (∼6400) is obtained for the high-field component in the Y 171 b X -band EPR spectrum. The spin-lattice relaxation time of the Yb3+ ions shortens with the increasing resonance frequency while the phase memory time, in contrast, grows noticeably. Variations of the phase memory times are interpreted in terms of spectral and instantaneous diffusions. The increase of the coherence time at the W band can be used for the application of rare-earth ions as qubits in quantum computing as it has been proposed recently. © 2009 The American Physical Society

    Superhyperfine structure of the ESR spectra of Gd<sup>3+</sup> impurity ions in LiYF<inf>4</inf> double fluoride

    Get PDF
    © 2017, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.Electron spin resonance spectra of Gd3+ ions forming a small (~0.0001 at %) impurity in a LiYF4 single crystal have been investigated in a wide temperature range from liquid helium to room temperature. A number of the fine-structure components of the spectrum exhibit a pronounced superhyperfine structure depending on the orientation of the external magnetic field with respect to the crystallographic axes. The superhyperfine structure was not observed in earlier ESR studies of double fluorides with a Gd3+ impurity

    Electron spin-lattice relaxation of Er3+-ions in Y0.99Er0.01Ba2Cu3Ox

    Get PDF
    The temperature dependence of the electron spin-lattice relaxation (SLR) was studied in Y0.99Er0.01Ba2Cu3Ox(0 ≤ x ≤ 7). The data derived from the electron spin resonance (ESR) and SLR measurements were compared to those from inelastic neutron scattering studies. SLR of Er3+-ions in the temperature range from 20 K to 65 K can be explained by the resonant phonon relaxation process with the involvement of the lowest excited crystalline-electric-field electronic states of Er3+. These results are consistent with a local phase separation effects. Possible mechanisms of the ESR line broadening at lower temperatures are discussed. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

    EPR of YBa2Cu3O6+y: Models of paramagnetic centers with g ≈ 4.2

    Get PDF
    A systematic investigation of the EPR line with g ≈ 4.2 in YBa2Cu3O6+y has been carried out. From the temperature dependence of the line integrated intensity we have deduced that the line is due to paramagnetic centers with integer spin. The energy interval between the ground singlet state and the excited state with S = 1 was estimated as 8-10 K. Energy levels of the cluster Cu2+ (S = 1/2)-"Cu3+(S = 0)"-Cu2+(S = 1/2) were calculated for different sets of parameters. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

    Electron spin resonance with geff ≈ 4.2 in YBa2Cu3O6.35. model of chain copper-oxygen fragments

    Get PDF
    Systematic measurements are made of ESR spectra with g ≈ 4.2 in YBa2Cu3O6+y compounds with various doping indices y. Temperature dependences of the spectrum intensity show that the ground states of the centers are singlet and the energies of the excited states MS = ±1 correspond to 8-11 K. In general, the intensity of the ESR spectra varies with time and depends on the sample preparation technology. The most probable models for the paramagnetic centers studied are considered to be chain fragments of copper ions of variable valence. General laws governing the energy structure of these centers are described. © 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica"
