Geometric Phase in Fluctuating Magnetic Field

Geometric phase in a two-level atom with a fluctuating magnetic field is calculated by a nonunit vector ray in a complex projective Hilbert space, where the nonunit vector is a map connecting with density matrices of a quantum open system. We find that the Pancharatnam phase oscillates with evolving time. The Berry phase depends on the fluctuating parameter but it is proportional to the area spanned in the Bloch parameter space.     

Combined Magneto-Electric Spin Resonance of Impurity Ho Ions in Synthetic Forsterite

Continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of impurity holmium ions in synthetic forsterite have been studied on an ELEXSYS E580 spectrometer equipped with a cylindrical dielectric resonator ER4118MD5-W1 of the Flexline series. Resonance lines of the anomalous shape demonstrating the absorption contour instead of its derivative were observed at the conventional operation mode with the magnetic field modulation. The conditions of the appearance of anomalous signals and their characteristics have been studied. The anomalous lines shape effect was explained by the simultaneous excitation of magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole transitions between electron–nuclear spin sublevels of the holmium ions.     

Spin Filter Effect in Organic Polymers in the Presence of Local Magnetic Field

Using a nonadiabatic evolution method, we investigate the spin filter effect in organic polymers in the presence of a local magnetic field. Through a spin-dependent magnetic field, polarons （charge carrier） with different spins will feel repulsive or attractive force determined by their spins. Our simulations show that in a single-site magnetic field （affecting electrons at a single site）, for example V150 = 0.35 eV, or V150 = 0.45 eV, a spin-up polaron accelerated to saturated velocity by an electric field can pass through the field while the spin-down polaron is trapped. When the local field extends over several sites （Vn～ exp[-（n - nc）2/nw^2]）, similar behaviour is also found. Simultaneously we find that it is more likely to realize the spin filter effect in a comparatively large field since the polaron which feels attractive force is easily trapped by a local magnetic field.     

Controlling Decoherence from Fluctuating Magnetic Field

A different strategy is proposed to control decoherence from fluctuating magnetic field by adjusting external controllable parameters. The results show that the output states in terms of the fidelity are pure states, which correspond to the state vectors that are given by a renormalized Hamiltonian. Thus, the output states may perfectly preserve memory of initial single-qubit states at some critical magnetic field parameters.

Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in an Ultra-Low Magnetic Field

Magnetic resonance imaging is well known as a highly effective technique of medical visualization. One of its relatively new approaches is diffusion imaging. As a rule, the majority of magnetic resonance investigations in biology and medicine tends to be carried out in high magnetic fields (1.5 T and higher), but there are some advantages of the same experiments in low magnetic fields. It can be strongly useful, for example, for designing and testing new pulse sequences, training operators of magnetic resonance imagers, making new phantoms (model objects). In this study, diffusion-weighted imaging experiments in a low magnetic field 7 mT are performed in the first time. Nevertheless, this field is about two orders of magnitude bigger than an extremely low Earth field, and so concomitant gradients and polarization problems do not arise. In particular, diffusion weighted images of combined model samples (phantoms) are presented.     

Magnetic Field Effects on Quantum-Dot Spin Valves

We study the magnetic field effects on the spin-polarized transport of the quantum dot (QD) spin valve in the sequential tunneling regime. A set of generalized master equation is derived. Based on that, we discuss the collinear and noncollinear magnetic field effects, respectively. In the collinear magnetic field case,we find that the Zeeman splitting can induce a negative differential conductance (NDC), which is quite different from the one found in previous studies. It has a critical polarization in the parallel arrangement and will disappear in the antiparallelconfiguration. In the noncollinear magnetic field case, the current shows two plateaus and their angular dependence is analyzed. Although sometimes the two current plateaus have similar angular dependence, their mechanisms are different. Our formalism is also suitable for calculating the transport in magnetic molecules, in which the spin splitting is induced not by a magnetic field but by the intrinsic magnetization.

Self-Diffusion Imaging by Spin Echo in Earth's Magnetic Field

The NMR of the Earth's magnetic field is used for diffusion-weighted imaging of phantoms. Due to a weak Larmor field, care needs to be taken regarding the use of the usual high field assumption in calculating the effect of the applied inhomogeneous magnetic field. The usual definition of the magnetic field gradient must be replaced by a generalized formula valid when the strength of a nonuniform magnetic field and a Larmor field are comparable (J. Stepišnik,Z. Phys. Chem.190, 51–62 (1995)). It turns out that the expression for spin echo attenuation is identical to the well-known Torrey formula only when the applied nonuniform field has a proper symmetry. This kind of problem may occur in a strong Larmor field as well as when the slow diffusion rate of particles needs an extremely strong gradient to be applied. The measurements of the geomagnetic field NMR demonstrate the usefulness of the method for diffusion and flow-weighted imaging.     

Sensitivity of Saturation Transfer Electron Spin Resonance Extended to Extremely Slow Mobility in Glassy Materials

A novel extension of the saturation transfer (ST) ESR technique that enables the determination of extremely long rotational correlation times of nitroxide spin labels up to values around 10⁴s is proposed. The method is based on the observation that the integral of ST-ESR spectra is sensitive to the spin–lattice relaxation time of the electron of the spin label, which in turn is directly dependent upon the rotational correlation time. The method is applied to the spin label TEMPOL (4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl) in glycerol. From the known viscosity data and the related rotational correlation times of the TEMPOL spin label in glycerol, the rotational correlation times of unknown samples can be determined. The method is especially applicable to systems with a very high viscosity, such as glassy materials. The method is applied to a 20 wt% glucose–water mixture in the glassy state, giving a value for the highest limiting rotational correlation time of about 10³s at a temperature of 45 K below the glass transition temperature of this system. This is an extension by six decades for the rotational correlation time, as compared to the current application of ST-ESR.     

Absorption Lineshapes in Two-Dimensional Electron Spin Resonance and the Effects of Slow Motions in Complex Fluids

A methodology for obtaining pure absorption two-dimensional electron spin resonance spectra is presented for the case of large inhomogeneous broadening and/or slow motions. For slow motions, the spectra consist of “complex Lorentzians” superimposed with complex weighting factors, presenting a challenge to obtaining absorption spectra. It is shown how absorption-type spectra can be recovered for the two-pulse COSY and SECSY experiments in such cases. For three-pulse 2D ELDOR experiments, absorption lineshapes can be obtained for the autopeaks, whereas the cross peaks would be of mixed-mode character, in general. However, for practical cases the dispersive components in the cross peaks will be relatively small. Theoretical and experimental absorption spectra are provided to illustrate the method and to show the improved resolution obtained from absorption lineshapes. In particular, the variation in linewidths across a SECSY spectrum, which is a key component in elucidating motional dynamics, is clearly rendered in the pure absorption mode. A convenient method for introducing the necessary phase corrections for the slow-motional spectra is also provided.     

Resonant Influence of Bumpy Steady Magnetic Field Ripples on the Structure of the Local Alfven Resonance

Distribution of electromagnetic wave fields within the local Alfven resonance is studied under the resonant condition such that a period of the fundamental harmonic of radio ‐ frequency wave in the axial direction is twice as large as the period of the steady bumpy magnetic field. Account for the ripples of the steady magnetic field is shown to remove infinite discontinuity of the wave fields, that takes place in straight magnetic field. Arising of the gap in the Alfven continua caused by the ripples is discussed.

有机-无机杂化钙钛矿(OIHPs)是现阶段较为新颖的光电子材料之一,已被广泛地应用于太阳能电池和发光领域。然而,该类材料已被证实具有较强的自旋轨道耦合和Rashba效应,并且具备较高的载流子迁移率和消光系数。因此,这为实现自旋注入和自旋调控提供了重要依据。本文从三个方面对有机-无机杂化钙钛矿的自旋光电子学展开论述,首先是自旋极化电子在钙钛矿自旋器件中的输运研究以及铁磁-钙钛矿自旋界面研究;其次,是该材料在激发态下的磁场效应研究;最后,就钙钛矿自旋光电子学未来发展进行了探讨和评论。     

基于局部位移校正的磁共振图像相干平均

多次扫描相干平均是提高磁共振图像信噪比的常用方法,但如果在多次扫描过程中病人发生自主或不自主的运动,使得图像中的组织发生位移,简单相干平均图像会导致图像模糊.本文受非局域均值算法的启发,提出了一种基于局部位移校正的相干平均方法.该算法通过比较多次采集的图像中组织结构的局部相似性,找出图像间的局部位移,利用该信息修正位移后进行加权平均,从而达到提高图像信噪比的目的.我们用模型及真实的肝脏弥散数据进行了实验.实验结果表明,对于不同次采样间存在运动的磁共振图像,该算法可有效地提高信噪比并保持结构边缘;其结果优于简单的相干平均,去噪效果也优于经典的非局域均值算法.     

Raman磁共振谱中强单量子信号的压抑

通常单量子信号的强度在Raman磁共振谱中要比其它多量子信号的强度大得多,因而易引起接收机饱和,使信号发生变形,不利于多量子信号的检测,因此压抑强的单量子峰是必要的.积算符理论分析表明,异核体系Raman磁共振谱的单,多量子峰的共振频率及其信号强度关于频偏满足对称关系:当频偏由正变为负时,单量子信号的强度亦随之改变了符号.因此,对正负频偏(数值相等)的两次Raman磁共振实验的FID信号进行累加,就可压抑强的单量子峰,而对于多量子峰则在大的频偏条件下不会相互抵消.因此,这样的实验累加可以保持多量子信号的强度而压抑掉强的单量子峰.作为实验验证,我们给出了异核AX_n体系(CHCl₃,CH₂Cl₂,CH₃OH)的按上述正负频偏循环累加采样方法得到Raman磁共振¹³C实验谱.实验结果同理论预言完全一致.

The evolutions of the true ground state with the magnetic field B are obtained for various impurity cases. It is found that the negative charge impurity would promote the phase transition of the true ground state.     

Spin Exchange in Slow Atomic Collisions

In the present work, a pattern of spin polarization is investigated within the framework of nonrelativistic interactions of electrons of colliding atoms. The electron spin exchange in the process of collision causes the polarization characteristics of atoms to change. It is demonstrated that results of collision of hydrogen atoms with alkaline metals (H, K, Na, Cs, and Rb) are analogous to those of elastic exchange electron scattering by single-electron atoms. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 69–72, September, 2005.
