Rabi oscillations and ENDOR study of trivalent gadolinium ion in LiYF4 crystal
https://doi.org/10.26907/mrsej-24207
Abstract
We demonstrate coherent electron and electron-nuclear spin manipulations using the impurity trivalent gadolinium ion and the nearby 7Li and 19F nuclei incorporated in the LiYF4 host crystal. In particular, we present the electronic Rabi oscillations corresponding to -1/2 ⇔ 1/2 and 5/2 ⇔ 7/2 transitions between the projections of the Gd3+ spin S=7/2 of the lowest manifold 8S7/2, together with the spin-lattice and spin-spin coherence times of these transitions. High-resolution pulsed electron-nuclear double resonance spectra involving -1/2 ⇔ 1/2 or 5/2 ⇔ 7/2 gadolinium transitions and either 7Li (nuclear spin I=3/2) or 19F (I=1/2) nuclear spin transition are obtained. The results suggest that the particular system can be potentially used for the implementation of hybrid quantum calculations utilizing both the electronic high-spin gadolinium states and the nuclear spin states of the adjacent ions.
