Expérimental Description
Recent advances in Electron Spin Resonance – Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (ESR-STM) are now making possible the study of electron spin resonance on single adatoms or molecules. At C2N, we developed an ESR-STM instrument that will be used for continuous-wave and pulsed ESR-STM. Pulsed ESR-STM allows measurements of Rabi oscillations, Cf. Fig., to characterize quantum coherence at atomic scale[1,2].
The project of the master/PhD is to fabricate spin-chains from magnetic molecules and to characterize the quantum coherence properties of the chain with atomic resolution.
Such studies are of fundamental interest for the field of quantum magnetism with topologically non-trivial excitations, such as Haldane spin-chains, expected to have long quantum coherence time.
