RF-driven quantum control of the F???F state via a double-resonance experiment
Abstract: We have successfully performed room-temperature muon spin echo experiments in polycrystalline LaF3, achieving NMR-like control with muons and modeling the results with appropriate simulations. To further advance RF control in muon-coupled systems, we now propose a double-resonance experiment aimed at manipulating the entangled F-mu-F state in CaF2 single crystals at low temperatures. This system has the advantage the Ca nuclear moment is zero and so we will avoid complicating effects of the cation nuclear moment, and also the cubic crystal means that one averages over a couple of well-defined F-mu-F orientations, rather than over all possible orientations, as in our earlier experiment. By selectively addressing the spin states of either the muon or the fluorine nuclei using tailored pulse sequences, we seek to investigate how the local environment influences the F-mu-F system at ~ 5 K. We will begin by implementing optimized single- and double-pulse sequences, progressing from zero-field conditions to higher longitudinal fields. Finally, a Hahn echo sequence will be applied to examine the modulation of the spin-echo envelope arising from muon-fluorine coupling, with the effects of muon hopping expected to be significantly suppressed at low temperature.
