Advancements in Single-Molecule Electron Spin Resonance Using Atomic Force Microscopy

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Nature.com

Scientists have developed a new technique called electron spin resonance atomic force microscopy (ESR-AFM) that allows for the measurement of electron spin resonance (ESR) at the single-molecule level. By using a combination of atomic force microscopy and radio-frequency magnetic fields, researchers were able to drive and probe ESR transitions in individual pentacene molecules. The technique provides atomic-scale local information and offers long coherence times, making it a promising tool for studying quantum systems and conducting fundamental quantum-sensing experiments.

Advancements in Quantum Computing: From Single-Molecule Electron Sources to Ultra-Thin Superconducting Ink.

Researchers at University of Tokyo, JTS PRESTO, Ludwig Maximilians Universität and Kindai University have demonstrated the modulation of an electron source by applying laser light to a single fullerene molecule. The technique could enable the integration of ultrafast switches into a single fullerene molecule, paving the way for the development of better performing computers and microscopic imaging devices. The researchers also propose an integration scheme that would allow the integration of as many switches as desired without the need to increase the size of devices. The method could also be applied in the field of electron microscopy.
