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