Nuclear spin induced collapse and revival shape of Rabi oscillations of a single electron spin in diamond

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/20/11/117801

Abstract A collapse and revival shape of Rabi oscillations in an electron spin of a single nitrogen-vacancy centre has been observed in diamond at room temperature. Because of hyperfine interaction between the host ¹⁴N nuclear spin and the nitrogen-vacancy centre electron spin, different orientations of the ¹⁴N nuclear spins lead to a triplet splitting of the transition between ground state (m_s =0) and excited state (m_s =1). The manipulation of the single electron spin of nitrogen-vacancy centre is achieved by using a combination of selective microwave excitation and optical pumping at 532 nm. Microwaves can excite three transitions equally to induce three independent nutations and the shape of Rabi oscillations is a combination of the three nutations.

Keywords: nitrogen-vacancy centre single electron spin Rabi oscillations hyperfine interaction
