The Boltzmann entropy and the specific heat capacity at a given temperature are obtained and show the correlation of the coupling of the spin bath and the electron spin of the central atom. At low frequencies the coherence of the coupled system is dominated by the magnetic field intensity. At low VBF intensity, there is decrease in entropy and heat capacity at increase external magnetic field that show the decoherence suppression of the central electron spin atom. The crossing observed in the specific heat capacity corresponds to the critical field point Bc of the system which represents the point of transition from the anti-ferromagnetic system to the ferromagnetic one.展开更多

Xiao-Zhong et al. who investigated the influence of constant external magnetic field on the decoherence of a central electron spin of atom coupled to an anti-ferromagnetic environment. We have shown in this work that the character variability of the field induces oscillations amongst the eigen modes of the environment. This observation is made via the derivation of the transition probability density of state, a manner by which critical parameters (parameters where transition occur) of the system could be obtained as it shows resonance peak. We equally observed that the two different magnons modes resulting from the frequency splitting via the application of the time-varying external B-Field, exhibit each a resonant peak of similar amplitude at different temperature ranges. This additional information shows that the probability for the central spin system to remain in its initially prepared diabatic state is enhanced for some temperature ranges for the corresponding two magnon modes. Hence, these temperature ranges where the probability density is maximum could save as decoherence free environment;an important requirement for the implementation of quantum computation and information processing in solid state circuitry. The theoretical and numerical results presented for the decoherence time and the probability density are that of a decohered central electron spin coupled to an anti-ferromagnetic spin bath. The theory is based on a spin wave approximation and on the density matrix using both transformations of Bloch, Primakov and Bogoliobuv in the adiabatic limit.展开更多

文摘传统的瞬变电磁信息获取方式大多采用空芯线圈和磁芯线圈形式,用以测量磁场随时间变化率,但是晚期信号往往较弱,不利于分辨异常。笔者开展了直接测量瞬变电磁法磁场参数的模拟和实测效果分析研究。首先通过对B场和d B/dt参数的响应特性分析,认为B场参数在晚期探测方面具有一定的优越性;分别采用澳大利亚产SM24瞬变电磁系统(磁通门磁探头,直接测量B场)和GDP-32仪器(感应线圈,测量感应电压)进行了实测数据的对比,在同样瞬变电磁观测装置情况下,发现采用磁通门传感器所测量B场数据比采用感应线圈测量的二次感应电压数据效果较好,即:磁通门传感器的特征频率相对较低(往往小于1 k Hz),衰减速度慢,磁场B数据与磁场变化率d B/dt场数据的幅值范围较大,受低阻覆盖层影响程度小,有利于晚期测量。研究结果表明开发和使用磁通门传感器是解决瞬变电磁精细探测的突破方向之一。
