Optical detection of transition metal ion electron paramagnetic resonance by coherent Raman spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coherent Raman scattering in combination with optical heterodyne detection provides an attractive new technique for the measurement of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The technique is applicable to both electronic ground and excited states. In contrast to conventional ODMR techniques, it monitors the precessing magnetisation and produces phase-sensitive spectra. We have demonstrated the feasibility of the experiment using the ‘Al to 4E(4T1) transition of Cr in Al2O3 (ruby).

Coherent Raman detected electron spin resonance spectroscopy of metalloproteins: linking electron spin resonance and magnetic circular dichroism.
The simultaneous excitation of paramagnetic molecules with optical (laser) and microwave radiation in the presence of a magnetic field can cause an amplitude, or phase, modulation of the transmitted light at the microwave frequency. The detection of this modulation indicates the presence of coupled optical and ESR transitions. The phenomenon can be viewed as a coherent Raman effect or, in most ...
متن کاملMagnetic Raman optical activity and Raman electron paramagnetic resonance
All molecules in a magnetic field parallel to the incident light beam show a small difference in the intensity of Raman scattering at 900 in right and left circularly polarized incident light. The most interesting effects occur in vibrational resonance Raman scattering from odd—electron transition metal halides, and in pure electronic resonance Raman scattering from both odd— and even—electron ...

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, also known as Electron Spin Resonance(ESR) especially among physicists, is a strong and versatile spectroscopic method forinvestigation of paramagnetic systems, i.e. systems like free radicals and most transition metalions, which have unpaired electrons. The sensitivity and selectivity of EPR are notable andintriguing as compared to other spec...

The high-spin Fe~III!-center of oxidized rubredoxin from Clostridium pasteurianum shows a complicated, temperature-dependent EPR spectrum. We combine conventional EPR spectroscopy with optically detected EPR ~ODEPR! to elucidate the electronic structure of this protein metal center. The ODEPR experiment, which can be considered as coherent Raman scattering or modulated magnetic circular dichroi...
متن کاملMagnetic field effect on picosecond electron transfer
The recombination dynamics of a transition metal redox system monitored by femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy are shown to be sensitive to high magnetic fields at times shorter than 10 picoseconds. The effect, based on coherent population beats of different spin states, is quantitatively accounted for and allows direct access to spin relaxation rates far beyond the time resolution of the faste...
