ODMR-Based Resonant Spin Inertia: A Sensitive Technique for Studying Spin Relaxation

  • Vasilii V. Belykh

摘要

We describe the principle and applications of the resonant spin inertia technique that is based on optically detected magnetic resonance. It combines optical pumping and Faraday/Kerr rotation probing in a single laser beam and measures spin resonance and the spin inertia effect induced by a modulated radiofrequency field. This method is sensitive, technically simple, and applicable to a wide range of material systems. It provides access to the basic spin properties, including the longitudinal spin relaxation time \(T_1\) T 1 , which can be measured selectively for different spin resonances present in the system. We demonstrate the application of the technique to rare-earth Ce \(^{3+}\) 3 + ions in a YAG matrix, (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots, and lead halide perovskite nanocrystals. The technique allowed to measure \(T_1\) T 1 in these systems, ranging from microseconds to milliseconds, and to reveal peculiarities of spin relaxation for charge carriers as well as for spatially indirect excitons.
