Sub-microsecond conformational dynamics in an optical nanocavity

Heehun Sung, Sam C Scholten, Pavlina Sasheva +2

Microsecond conformational changes underlie many protein functions, but ensemble averaging has been needed to observe them without labels. Single-shot measurements on individual pr…

Spin-dependent photoluminescence in carbon-based quantum dots

Erin S. Grant, Joseph F. Olorunyomi, Sam C. Scholten +12

The ability to modulate the photoluminescence (PL) of nanomaterials via spin-related effects is vital for many emerging quantum technologies, with nanoscale quantum sensing and ima…

Optically detected magnetic resonance of wafer-scale hexagonal boron nitride thin films

Sam C. Scholten, Jakub Iwański, Kaijian Xing +15

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has recently been shown to host native defects exhibiting optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) with applications in nanoscale magnetic sensing…

A charge transfer mechanism for optically addressable solid-state spin pairs

Islay O. Robertson, Benjamin Whitefield, Sam C. Scholten +9

Optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) with no resolvable zero-field splitting has been observed from emitters in hexagonal boron nitride across a broad range of wavelengths,…

Imaging magnetic switching in orthogonally twisted stacks of a van der Waals antiferromagnet

Alexander J Healey, Cheng Tan, Boris Gross +9

Stacking van der Waals magnets holds promise for creating new hybrid materials with properties that do not exist in bulk materials. Here we investigate orthogonally twisted stacks…

Radiofrequency receiver based on isotropic solid-state spins

Islay O. Robertson, Brett C. Johnson, Giannis Thalassinos +5

Optically addressable solid-state spins have been proposed as robust radiofrequency (RF)-optical transducers sensitive to a specific RF frequency tuned by an external static magnet…
