Detection of the spin coherence time of P1 centers in Diamond by Double Modulation EPR spectroscopy
The study of double modulation continuous wave (CW) electron spin resonance (DM-EPR) is reported to detect narrow 'spin-packet' like lines within an inhomogeneous CW-EPR line of low concentration P1 (Ns0) centers ([Ns0] < 1 ppm) in diamond. These narrow lines appear as peaks at multiple of modulation frequency in double modulation spectrum (DMS). It is shown that the respective line shape can be fitted assuming two Lorentzian line shapes. The linewidth of the narrower Lorentzian is comparable with the linewidth of the Lorentzian obtained from the T_2 relaxation time (δ_1=1⁄π T_2 ) estimated from the Hahn echo pulsed-EPR experiment. The broader component (δ_2 ) correlates with T_2^* relaxation time obtained from the free induction decay (FID) measurement of the inhomogeneous spectral line shape of P1 center. The ratio δ_1⁄δ_2 ~18 derived from DM- EPR measurements approaches within the experimental error the value T_2⁄(T_2^* )~16 derived from pulsed-EPR. Sensitivity to the small shift of the magnetic field (~0.6 μT) was shown to be detectable from the broadening behavior of δ_2 component. The results promote DM-EPR as a method complementary to pulsed-EPR for studying coherence times of low density paramagnetic centers in diamond lattice like nitrogen-vacation (NV-) center, since it exhibits similar properties as here investigated P1 center.
