Item Open Access Zero bias anomalies in point-contact characteristics of αt-(BEDT-TTF)2I3(1994) Ernst, Gabriele; Nowack, Andreas; Weger, Meir; Schweitzer, DieterThe zero-bias anomaly in point-contact characteristics of the organic superconductor α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 is investigated as a function of temperature and magnetic field. It is found that the zero-bias anomaly is insensitive to magnetic fields up to 5 T. In contrast, a structure at 5 meV, conventionally designated as the superconducting gap - but which is 4 times larger than the expected BCS gap - is strongly affected by magnetic fields above 1 T.Item Open Access Microwave conductivity in polycrystalline (BEDT-TTF)2I3 material(1991) Müller, Gerhard; Helberg, Hans W.; Schweitzer, Dieter; Keller, Heimo J.Polycrystalline material of the α-phase of (BEDT-TTF)2I3 was compressed to small samples (4-mm x 1mm, thickness 0.3 mm typically) at a pressure of 10 kbar. Annealing at 70°C yields the superconducting αt-phase. Microwaves (10,2 GHz) enable the measurements of the conductivity for stepwise annealing after every annealing step in always the same sample. For annealing times 10 min all conductivity versus temperature curves are intersecting in an isosbestlc point at 190 K. This behaviour can be described by a conductivity relation for a two component system, from which was determined the volume fraction of the new grown αt-phase in dependence of the annealing time. Starting annealing (annealing times < 10 min) shows another unexpected phase transformation. After 2 min annealing the conductivity at 200 K increases by more than one order of magnitude, but then decreases of further annealing (5-10 min) down to the value for the unannealed sample.Item Open Access Resonant Raman scattering from superconducting single crystals of (BEDT-TTF)2I3(1993) Pokhodnia, Konstantin I.; Graja, Andrzej; Weger, Meir; Schweitzer, DieterA study of low energetic resonant Raman scattering of (BEDT-TTF)2I3 superconducors was performed. The vanishing of phonon bands accompanied by a decrease of the electronic background was observed below Tc. We propose a theoretical explanation for this novel effect in terms of the Balseiro-Falicov model of phonon-superconducting amplitude mode interaction.Item Open Access Resonant Raman scattering from superconducting gap excitations in single crystals of (BEDT-TTF)2I3(1993) Graja, Andrzej; Pokhodnia, Konstantin I.; Weger, Meir; Schweitzer, DieterA study of low-energetic resonant Raman scattering of αt- and βH-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 superconductor was performed. The softening and weakening of the low frequency optical phonons at about 30 cm-1 in the superconducting state of both αt- and βH-phases were observed below Tc.Item Open Access Heterodyne sensing of microwaves with a quantum sensor(2021) Meinel, Jonas; Vorobyov, Vadim; Yavkin, Boris; Dasari, Durga; Sumiya, Hitoshi; Onoda, Shinobu; Isoya, Junichi; Wrachtrup, JörgDiamond quantum sensors are sensitive to weak microwave magnetic fields resonant to the spin transitions. However, the spectral resolution in such protocols is ultimately limited by the sensor lifetime. Here, we demonstrate a heterodyne detection method for microwaves (MW) leading to a lifetime independent spectral resolution in the GHz range. We reference the MW signal to a local oscillator by generating the initial superposition state from a coherent source. Experimentally, we achieve a spectral resolution below 1 Hz for a 4 GHz signal far below the sensor lifetime limit of kilohertz. Furthermore, we show control over the interaction of the MW-field with the two-level system by applying dressing fields, pulsed Mollow absorption and Floquet dynamics under strong longitudinal radio frequency drive. While pulsed Mollow absorption leads to improved sensitivity, the Floquet dynamics allow robust control, independent from the system’s resonance frequency. Our work is important for future studies in sensing weak microwave signals in a wide frequency range with high spectral resolution.Item Open Access (BEDT-TTF)2X(TCE)0,5[X:BF4, FSO3, IO4] new organic metals(1991) Armbruster, Kurt; Bele, Petra; Brunner, Hermann; Chen, Benming; Dahm, Stefan; Geiger, Rolf; Heinen, Ilsabe; Keller, Heimo J.; Schweitzer, DieterThe structure, the temperature dependence of the resistivity, thermopower, ESR-linewidth and the spin susceptibility of a new series of organic metals (BEDT-TTF)2X·(TCE)0,5 [X = BF4, FS03 and IO4] is presented and discussed.Item Open Access Readout and control of an endofullerene electronic spin(2020) Pinto, Dinesh; Paone, Domenico; Kern, Bastian; Dierker, Tim; Wieczorek, René; Singha, Aparajita; Dasari, Durga; Finkler, Amit; Harneit, Wolfgang; Wrachtrup, Jörg; Kern, KlausAtomic spins for quantum technologies need to be individually addressed and positioned with nanoscale precision. C60 fullerene cages offer a robust packaging for atomic spins, while allowing in-situ physical positioning at the nanoscale. However, achieving single-spin level readout and control of endofullerenes has so far remained elusive. In this work, we demonstrate electron paramagnetic resonance on an encapsulated nitrogen spin (14N@C60) within a C60 matrix using a single near-surface nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond at 4.7 K. Exploiting the strong magnetic dipolar interaction between the NV and endofullerene electronic spins, we demonstrate radio-frequency pulse controlled Rabi oscillations and measure spin-echos on an encapsulated spin. Modeling the results using second-order perturbation theory reveals an enhanced hyperfine interaction and zero-field splitting, possibly caused by surface adsorption on diamond. These results demonstrate the first step towards controlling single endofullerenes, and possibly building large-scale endofullerene quantum machines, which can be scaled using standard positioning or self-assembly methods.Item Open Access FT-IR investigations of BEDO-TTF and radical salts of BEDO-TTF(1993) Moldenhauer, Jörg; Pokhodnia, Konstantin I.; Schweitzer, Dieter; Heinen, Ilsabe; Keller, Heimo J.We investigated powder absorption spectra of the donor BEDO-TTF and some radical salts of BEDO-TTF, which are metals even at low temperatures. After an assignment of the bands in the neutral donor we found in the radical salts different vibrational frequencies of bands correlated with C-O vibrations. These frequencies are directly related to the average charge on the donor molecule. Additionally frequencies of CH2-stretching vibrations exhibit differences, which can be ascribed to a varying strength of donor-anion interaction depending on the respective anion.Item Open Access Quantum Fourier transform for nanoscale quantum sensing(2021) Vorobyov, Vadim; Zaiser, Sebastian; Abt, Nikolas; Meinel, Jonas; Dasari, Durga; Neumann, Philipp; Wrachtrup, JörgThe quantum Fourier transformation (QFT) is a key building block for a whole wealth of quantum algorithms. Despite its proven efficiency, only a few proof-of-principle demonstrations have been reported. Here we utilize QFT to enhance the performance of a quantum sensor. We implement the QFT algorithm in a hybrid quantum register consisting of a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center electron spin and three nuclear spins. The QFT runs on the nuclear spins and serves to process the sensor - i.e., the NV electron spin signal. Specifically, we show the application of QFT for correlation spectroscopy, where the long correlation time benefits the use of the QFT in gaining maximum precision and dynamic range at the same time. We further point out the ability for demultiplexing the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals using QFT and demonstrate precision scaling with the number of used qubits. Our results mark the application of a complex quantum algorithm in sensing which is of particular interest for high dynamic range quantum sensing and nanoscale NMR spectroscopy experiments.Item Open Access Temperature dependent resistivity under pressure and magnetoresistance data of the organic superconductor (BEDO-TTF)2ReO4(H2O)(1993) Kahlich, Siegfried; Schweitzer, Dieter; Auban-Senzier, Pascale; Jerome, Denis; Keller, Heimo J.The temperature dependence of the resistivity under pressure (up to 6 kbar) of the organic metal (BEDO-TTF)2ReO4(H20) is reported. An increase of the resistivity below 35 K, which is observed at ambient pressure, is already suppressed at 1 kbar. In addition at this pressure the superconducting transition sharpens and the onset temperature of 2.3 K is nearly the same as at ambient pressure. Magnetoresistance data, observed at 1.3 K and 6.7 Tesla show a strong angle dependence. In addition at 1.3 K first SdH -oscillations in the magnetoresistance are found already at such low fields as 5 Tesla.
