Transient nutations decay: The effect of field-modified dipolar interaction
The anomalous behavior of transient nutations is experimentally investigated in a set of two-level $(S=\frac{1}{2})$ spin systems differing only in spin concentration. Our results show that the non-Bloch power dependence of the decay rate of transient nutations is a concentration-dependent effect, which is more and more pronounced in more and more concentrated samples. The experimental results are interpreted in the framework of the recent theory by Shakhmuratov et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 2963 (1997)] and support the hypothesis that the anomalous decay of transient nutations in solids originates from radiation-induced changes of the dipolar field, rather than from residual fluctuations of…
Stimulated nutation echo: application to the driven decoherence study
We study experimentally the dynamical and decay properties of the stimulated nutation echo (SNE) in a two-level spin system, the signal of which allows the observation timescale of the driven coherence relaxation to be extended. This signal appears in the transient response of the system to the second pulse at time τ1 from its start and coinciding with the duration of the first pulse. The information about the first pulse duration is imprinted into the population difference of the inhomogeneously broadened ensemble of the two-level absorbers. The decay of the SNE signal has two contributions. One originates from the population decay during the time τ between the two pulses. Another is cause…
