Electrical detection of nuclear spin echoes

We show, via a straightforward calculation, that it is feasible to detect nuclear spin echoes in a ferromagnetic thin film by electrical means. The detection scheme is based on the deflection of the electronic magnetization when the nuclear magnetization reforms during an echo. This deflection is observed as a time-dependent magnetoresistive signal.     

Dynamics of Single-Pulse Echo Signals under the Conditions of Zeeman Switching

The signals of a single-pulse echo (SE) generated on nonresonant excitation of an inhomogeneously broadened two-level system by a radio-frequency pulse (RFP), against the background of which a magnetic video pulse (MVP) of certain length has been switched on, have been described analytically. It is established that under the conditions of such excitation several SE signals are formed whose generation moments are determined by the duration and amplitudes of the RFP and MVP. The amplitudes of some of these signals depend on the Rabi frequency according to a quadratic law, and the amplitudes of others depend on this frequency according to a biquadratic law. It has been established that the mechanism underlying the appearance of these signals is associated with zero beats arising as a result of superposition of the magnetization fluctuations at variable frequencies and at a frequency of detuning from resonance. It is shown that in the limiting case, where the RFP duration considerably exceeds the duration of the MVP or is comparable with it, the number of SE signals decreases to two. Theoretical results on the formation of SE and the dependence of the amplitude of these signals on the MVP amplitude agree with the experimental data on NMR pulsed signals in ferromagnetic materials.     

Contributions of Spin–Lattice Relaxation to the Echo Decay of Planar Cu in High-Temperature Superconductors

Measurement ofT_2G, the Gaussian component of the spin-echo envelope of planar Cu nuclei in high-temperature superconductors, gives important information about the real part of the Cu electron spin susceptibility. In the traditional picture of the planar Cu echo decay, the internuclear coupling is assumed to remain static with respect to spin–lattice relaxation and mutual exchange fluctuations. In some circumstances, however, this assumption breaks down. We calculate the internuclear corrections arising from spin–lattice relaxation to the conventional theory ofT_2Gand show thatT_2Gcan be easily corrected for these effects. We argue that mutual exchanges due to the perpendicular indirect couplings are suppressed in these materials. For YBa₂Cu₄O₈, we find a correction on the order of 10% inT_2Gand using the corrected values we find that the isotope ratio⁶³T_2G/⁶⁵T_2Gagrees with theory.     

Biselective refocusing pulses and the SERF experiment

The SERF experiment is a variant of the homonuclear J-resolved experiment, in which a single coupling constant is measured. It consists of a single chemical shift selective excitation that is followed by a biselective spin echo. Recent articles mention the existence of artefacts in SERF spectra that are supposedly related to pulse imperfections. This article presents a detailed study of the biselective refocusing pulses. It also reports a method for predicting the position and amplitude of the expected and unexpected 2D spectral peaks in SERF spectra. Artefacts can be partially eliminated by phase cycling or by the introduction of static field gradient pulses in the acquisition sequence. A procedure to obtain of pure absorption peaks in SERF spectra is proposed.

条带模式合成孔径激光雷达振动目标成像的计算与仿真

在光学波长的尺度上,几乎没有目标可被认为是静止的,因此,目标振动对合成孔径激光雷达(SAL)成像可能有较大影响。对此问题,基于衍射光学,建立了在目标作简谐振动的情况下,采用准单色光线性调频光源照明的条带模式SAL的成像数学方程,分析和讨论了目标振动参数对SAL成像的影响,并给出了若干数学仿真演示。结果表明,SAL成像对目标振动非常敏感,在距离方向上目标微小的振动可使SAL系统在方位向上产生一系列虚假像,严重影响SAL高分辨率成像的实现。     

光子回声量子存储器中非均匀展宽频谱对存储效率的影响

本文提出了一个利用光子回声技术探究非均匀展宽频谱线形(如高斯、洛伦兹分布)对存储效率影响的简捷方法。我们发现当信号光脉冲的持续时间与介质频谱线宽的乘积远大于1时,可将分布函数的傅里叶变换近似成狄拉克函数,使得研究非均匀展宽频谱对存储效率的影响变得非常容易;通过计算发现不同线形分布达到最佳存储效率的光学深度有所不同,频谱线形趋于均匀时达到最优存储效率的存储介质光学深度最小。该研究对实验上实现最优化光量子态存储具有指导意义。

Full fitting analysis of the relative intermediate form factor measured by neutron spin echo

This paper describes the dynamics of a water-in-oil microemulsion from the dilute to the dense droplet region. Using the relative intermediate form factor method for neutron spin echo data analyses [M. Nagao, H. Seto, Phys. Rev. E 78 (2008) 011507], the shape and structure fluctuations of a droplet microemulsion are successfully decoupled. In the previous paper, we used the first cumulant analysis of the shape fluctuation model, while the full fitting form of the same model is applied in this paper. The final results of the fittings using the first cumulant approximation and the full form of the model are almost identical, and therefore, the validity of the method is strengthened. The estimated bending modulus of the surfactant membrane, κ, is basically the same, within the experimental errors, in the previous and present results. The κ is not affected much by an increase of the droplet concentration. A clear dynamic slowing down of the water droplets is highlighted at the length scale corresponding to the inter-droplet distance from the structure fluctuation analysis.
