Resolved Hyperfine at L-band for High-Spin CoEDTA, A Model for Co Sites in Proteins.

ABSTRACT: Low-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra were obtained for the Co complex of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (CoEDTA). It was found that the cobalt hyperfine at g_eff-mid is better resolved at a low frequency, L-band (1.37 GHz), and not resolved at X-band (9.631 GHz), which is the conventional frequency used for most spectra for metal complexes. Resolved cobalt hyperfine lines lead to additional EPR parameters like A-mid for cobalt and a more-accurate determination of g-mid. Resolved hyperfine lines in the L-band, but not the S-band, spectra were obtained at a concentration of 1 mM. Knowing these additional EPR parameters provides a means to better determine the electron density in the ground state orbital for each cobalt complex, as well as to determine differences upon a change of ligation. If zinc sites can be replaced by cobalt, the cobalt spectra for these sites will enhance the characterization of the zinc sites.

Formation of ferromagnetic Co-H-Co complex and spin-polarized conduction band in Co-doped ZnO.

Project description:Magnetic oxide semiconductors with wide band gaps have promising spintronic applications, especially in the case of magneto-optic devices. Co-doped ZnO (ZnCoO) has been considered for these applications, but the origin of its ferromagnetism has been controversial for several decades and no substantial progress for a practical application has been made to date. In this paper, we present direct evidence of hydrogen-mediated ferromagnetism and spin polarization in the conduction band of ZnCoO. Electron density mapping reveals the formation of Co-H-Co, in agreement with theoretical predictions. Electron spin resonance measurement elucidates the ferromagnetic nature of ZnCoO by the formation of Co-H-Co. We provide evidence from magnetic circular dichroism measurements supporting the hypothesis that Co-H-Co contributes to the spin polarization of the conduction band of hydrogen-doped ZnCoO.

Hyperfine-phonon spin relaxation in a single-electron GaAs quantum dot.

Project description:Understanding and control of the spin relaxation time T1 is among the key challenges for spin-based qubits. A larger T1 is generally favored, setting the fundamental upper limit to the qubit coherence and spin readout fidelity. In GaAs quantum dots at low temperatures and high in-plane magnetic fields B, the spin relaxation relies on phonon emission and spin-orbit coupling. The characteristic dependence T1 ? B-5 and pronounced B-field anisotropy were already confirmed experimentally. However, it has also been predicted 15 years ago that at low enough fields, the spin-orbit interaction is replaced by the coupling to the nuclear spins, where the relaxation becomes isotropic, and the scaling changes to T1 ? B-3. Here, we establish these predictions experimentally, by measuring T1 over an unprecedented range of magnetic fields-made possible by lower temperature-and report a maximum T1 = 57 ± 15 s at the lowest fields, setting a record electron spin lifetime in a nanostructure.

Broad-band spectroscopy of a vanadyl porphyrin: a model electronuclear spin qudit.

Project description:We explore how to encode more than a qubit in vanadyl porphyrin molecules hosting a S = 1/2 electronic spin coupled to a I = 7/2 nuclear spin. The spin Hamiltonian and its parameters, as well as the spin dynamics, have been determined via a combination of electron paramagnetic resonance, heat capacity, magnetization and on-chip magnetic spectroscopy experiments performed on single crystals. We find low temperature spin coherence times of micro-seconds and spin relaxation times longer than a second. For sufficiently strong magnetic fields (B > 0.1 T, corresponding to resonance frequencies of 9-10 GHz) these properties make vanadyl porphyrin molecules suitable qubit realizations. The presence of multiple equispaced nuclear spin levels then merely provides 8 alternatives to define the '1' and '0' basis states. For lower magnetic fields (B < 0.1 T), and lower frequencies (<2 GHz), we find spectroscopic signatures of a sizeable electronuclear entanglement. This effect generates a larger set of allowed transitions between different electronuclear spin states and removes their degeneracies. Under these conditions, we show that each molecule fulfills the conditions to act as a universal 4-qubit processor or, equivalently, as a d = 16 qudit. These findings widen the catalogue of chemically designed systems able to implement non-trivial quantum functionalities, such as quantum simulations and, especially, quantum error correction at the molecular level.

Fitting the magnetoresponses of the OLED using polaron pair model to obtain spin-pair dynamics and local hyperfine fields.

Project description:Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays a sign reversal magnetic field effect (MFE) when the applied magnetic field range is reduced to the sub-milliTesla range and the Polaron Pair Model has been successful in explaining the ultra-small MFE. Here, we obtained high resolution (~ 1 µT) magnetoconductance (MC) and magnetoelectroluminescence (MEL) of a tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminium-based (Alq3) OLED within the magnetic field range of ± 500 µT with the earth magnetic field components cancelled. A clear "W" shaped MC with a dip position of ± 250 µT and a monotonic MEL were observed. We demonstrate a fitting technique using the polaron pair model to the experimentally obtained MC and MEL. The fitting process extracts physically significant parameters within a working OLED: the local hyperfine fields for electron and hole in Alq3: Bhf1 = (0.63 ± 0.01) mT (electron), Bhf2 = (0.24 ± 0.01) mT (hole); the separation rates for singlet and triplet polaron pairs: kS,s = (44.59 ± 0.01) MHz, kT,s = (43.97 ± 0.01) MHz, and the recombination rate for singlet polaron pair kS,r = (88 ± 6) MHz. The yielded parameters are highly reproducible across different OLEDs and are in broad agreement with density functional theory (DFT) calculations and reported experimental observations. This demonstrates the feasibility of this fitting technique to approach any working OLED for obtaining significant microscopic parameters.

A Method for the Variational Calculation of Hyperfine-Resolved Rovibronic Spectra of Diatomic Molecules.

Project description:An algorithm for the calculation of hyperfine structure and spectra of diatomic molecules based on the variational nuclear motion is presented. The hyperfine coupling terms considered are Fermi-contact, nuclear spin-electron spin dipole-dipole, nuclear spin-orbit, nuclear spin-rotation, and nuclear electric quadrupole interactions. Initial hyperfine-unresolved wave functions are obtained for a given set of potential energy curves and associated couplings by a variation solution of the nuclear-motion Schrödinger equation. Fully hyperfine-resolved parity-conserved rovibronic Hamiltonian matrices for a given final angular momentum, F, are constructed and then diagonalized to give hyperfine-resolved energies and wave functions. Electric transition dipole moment curves can then be used to generate a hyperfine-resolved line list by applying rigorous selection rules. The algorithm is implemented in Duo, which is a general program for calculating spectra of diatomic molecules. This approach is tested for NO and MgH, and the results are compared to experiment and shown to be consistent with those given by the well-used effective Hamiltonian code PGOPHER.

Comprehensive determination of (3)J (HNHalpha) for unfolded proteins using (13)C'-resolved spin-echo difference spectroscopy.

Project description:An experiment is presented to determine (3)J(HNHalpha) coupling constants, with significant advantages for applications to unfolded proteins. The determination of coupling constants for the peptide chain using 1D (1)H, or 2D and 3D (1)H-(15)N correlation spectroscopy is often hampered by extensive resonance overlap when dealing with flexible, disordered proteins. In the experiment detailed here, the overlap problem is largely circumvented by recording (1)H-(13)C' correlation spectra, which demonstrate superior resolution for unfolded proteins. J-coupling constants are extracted from the peak intensities in a pair of 2D spin-echo difference experiments, affording rapid acquisition of the coupling data. In an application to the cytoplasmic domain of human neuroligin-3 (hNlg3cyt) data were obtained for 78 residues, compared to 54 coupling constants obtained from a 3D HNHA experiment. The coupling constants suggest that hNlg3cyt is intrinsically disordered, with little propensity for structure.

NMR hyperfine shifts in blue copper proteins: a quantum chemical investigation.

Project description:We present the results of the first quantum chemical investigations of 1H NMR hyperfine shifts in the blue copper proteins (BCPs): amicyanin, azurin, pseudoazurin, plastocyanin, stellacyanin, and rusticyanin. We find that very large structural models that incorporate extensive hydrogen bond networks, as well as geometry optimization, are required to reproduce the experimental NMR hyperfine shift results, the best theory vs experiment predictions having R2 = 0.94, a slope = 1.01, and a SD = 40.5 ppm (or approximately 4.7% of the overall approximately 860 ppm shift range). We also find interesting correlations between the hyperfine shifts and the bond and ring critical point properties computed using atoms-in-molecules theory, in addition to finding that hyperfine shifts can be well-predicted by using an empirical model, based on the geometry-optimized structures, which in the future should be of use in structure refinement.

Equal-Spin Andreev Reflection on Junctions of Spin-Resolved Quantum Hall Bulk State and Spin-Singlet Superconductor.

Project description:The recent development of superconducting spintronics has revealed the spin-triplet superconducting proximity effect from a spin-singlet superconductor into a spin-polarized normal metal. In addition recently superconducting junctions using semiconductors are in demand for highly controlled experiments to engineer topological superconductivity. Here we report experimental observation of Andreev reflection in junctions of spin-resolved quantum Hall (QH) states in an InAs quantum well and the spin-singlet superconductor NbTi. The measured conductance indicates a sub-gap feature and two peaks on the outer side of the sub-gap feature in the QH plateau-transition regime increases. The observed structures can be explained by considering transport with Andreev reflection from two channels, one originating from equal-spin Andreev reflection intermediated by spin-flip processes and second arising from normal Andreev reflection. This result indicates the possibility to induce the superconducting proximity gap in the the QH bulk state, and the possibility for the development of superconducting spintronics in semiconductor devices.

Band splitting with vanishing spin polarizations in noncentrosymmetric crystals.

Project description:The Dresselhaus and Rashba effects are well-known phenomena in solid-state physics, in which spin-orbit coupling splits spin-up and spin-down energy bands of nonmagnetic non-centrosymmetric crystals. Here, we discuss a phenomenon we dub band splitting with vanishing spin polarizations (BSVSP), in which, as usual, spin-orbit coupling splits the energy bands in nonmagnetic non-centrosymmetric systems. Surprisingly, however, both split bands show no net spin polarization along certain high-symmetry lines in the Brillouin zone. In order to rationalize this phenomenon, we propose a classification of point groups into pseudo-polar and non-pseudo-polar groups. By means of first-principles simulations, we demonstrate that BSVSP can take place in both symmorphic (e.g., bulk GaAs) and non-symmorphic systems (e.g., two dimensional ferroelectric SnTe). Furthermore, we identify a linear magnetoelectric coupling in reciprocal space, which could be employed to tune the spin polarization with an external electric field. The BSVSP effect and its manipulation could therefore form the basis for future spintronic devices.
