Intermolecular multiple-quantum coherence transfer echoes and multiple echoes in nuclear magnetic resonance

Rainer Kimmich, Ioan Ardelean

In recent years evidence was presented that two radio frequency pulses in combination with suitably matched field gradient pulses produce cross peaks in two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy that reveal all the features of multiple-quantum/single-quantum coherence transfer signals. This experiment was termed CRAZED by Warren et al. Quite amazingly, identical signals were predicted on a purely classical basis. Thus the intriguing question arises whether this means that a classical analog to multiple-quantum coherences exists. In this study we show that this is clearly not the case. Coherence pathways of a purely single-quantum basis are excited anyway and lead independently to superimposed identical signals in parallel. Moreover, the observation of CRAZED signals per se neither disproves the adequacy of the high-temperature approximation, which was questioned in this context, nor proves a strong influence of intermolecular multiple-quantum coherences. However, the indispensable prerequisite for the description of the manifold CRAZED phenomena is that long-range dipolar interactions are taken into account either explicitly or in the continuous-limit form.

Raman heterodyne detected magnetic resonance of the nitrogen-vacancy centre in diamond

Xing-Fei He

This thesis describes the Raman heterodyne detection of magnetic resonance in the ³A ground state of the nitrogen-vacancy C'-1· V) centre in diamond. The recently developed theory of Raman heterodyne spectroscopy was tested and compared with the spectra measured on the N-V centre. Among those results, the electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR), nuclear-nuclear double resonance (double NMR), Autler-Townes effect, coherence transfer and Zeeman quantum beat were observed for the first time using such techniques. Raman heterodyne techniques were also used to investigate the level anticrossing, hyperfine and nuclear quadrupole interactions, and spin relaxations of the N-V centre with high sensitivity and precision. This thesis is comprised of three parts. Part one includes Chapters 1 to 3, providing introductory accounts. Chapter l is an introduction to the N-V colour centre, which describes the defect configuration, the spin Hamiltonian and the calculations of energy levels and wave functions of the ³A ground state. Chapter 2 briefly describes the theory of Raman heterodyne spectroscopy - a coherent optical radio-frequency (RF) double resonance technique, in particular the Raman heterodyne signals at weak and intense RF fields. Chapter 3 deals with experimental details and techniques utilized in the studies. Part two consists of Chapters 4 and 5, where the Raman heterodyne theory is compared with experimental results. Chapter 4 presents the Raman heterodyne detected nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) lineshapes compared with theoretical results at various RF power levels, laser intensities and laser frequencies within the 6380A zero-phonon line. The double resonance spectra obtained by Raman heterodyne techniques are discussed in Chapter 5, where attention is paid to the analysis of their spectral profiles depending on the detection scheme. The application of Raman heterodyne techniques to the studies of magnetic resonance of the N-V centre is described in part three, consisting of Chapters 6 to 9. The EPR measurements are described in Chapter 6, which were used to study various interactions near the level anticrossing, in particular the spin alignment. The hyperfine and nuclear quadrupole interactions probed by the NMR, ENDOR and hole burning measurements are described in Chapter 7. From these measurements, the hyperfine and quadrupole parameters in the spin Hamiltonian were fully determined. Chapter 8 deals with the Autler-Townes effect in the NMR and EPR transitions. By measuring the Autler-Townes spittings, the magnitudes of matrix elements of the NMR transitions were examined and compared. Chapter 9 presents the coherent spin transient properties, including nutations, echoes, Zeeman beating and coherence transfer. The dephasing time and homogeneous linewidths of the NMR and EPR transitions were then determined from the echo measurements. Finally, the thesis is summarized in Chapter 10.

Dynamics and relaxation of multiple quantum NMR coherences in a quasi-one-dimensional chain of nuclear spins 19F in calcium fluorapatite

Serge I. Doronin, Sergey G. Vasil’ev, A. A. Samoĭlenko +2 more

Multiple quantum experiments on nuclear magnetic resonance on spins of 19 F in calcium fluorapatite have been performed. It has been shown that more than 97% of the observed signal refers to the multiple quantum coherences of the zeroth and plus/minus second orders. The dependences of the intensities of these coherences on the time of the preparation period of the multiple quantum NMR experiment have been obtained. The dipole relaxation of multiple quantum coherences on the evolution period of the multiple quantum nuclear magnetic resonance experiment has been studied. A probe providing short radio-frequency pulses with the duration up to 0.3 μs has been developed for experiments. The experimental results show that the studied system can be used for the transmission of quantum information and the study of the decoherence process in strongly correlated multispin clusters.
