Wideband frequency-swept excitation in pulsed EPR spectroscopy.
Journal of Magnetic Resonance 2017 July
Excitation of electron spins with monochromatic rectangular pulses is limited to bandwidths that are smaller than the spectral widths of most organic radicals and much smaller than the spectral widths of transition and rare earth metal ions. With frequency-swept pulses, bandwidths of up to 800MHz have previously been attained for excitation and detection of spin packets at frequencies of about 9.6GHz and bandwidths of up to 2.5GHz in a polarization transfer experiment at frequencies of about 34GHz. The remaining limitations, mainly due to resonator bandwidth and due to pulse length restrictions are discussed. Flip angles for state-space rotations on passage of a transition can generally be computed from the critical adiabaticity by the Landau-Zener-Stückelberg-Majorana expression. For hyperbolic secant pulses, the Demkov-Kunike model describes excitation for spin packets within and outside the sweep range. Well within the sweep range, the Bloch-Siegert phase shift is proportional to critical adiabaticity to a very good approximation. Because of the dependence of both flip angle and coherence phase on critical adiabaticity, it is advantageous to use pairs of amplitude and frequency modulation functions that provide such offset-independent adiabaticity. Compensation for the resonator response function should restore offset-independent adiabaticity. Whereas resonance offsets and Bloch-Siegert phase can be refocused at certain pulse length ratios, phase dispersion in coupled spin systems cannot generally be refocused. Based on the bandwidth limitations that arise from spin dynamics, requirements are derived for a spectrometer that achieves precise spin control over wide bands. The design of such a spectrometer and hardware characterization by EPR experiments are discussed.
