Room-temperature spin nutations in a magnetically condensed phase of [Y(pc)2]

FID-detected nutations of the antiferromagnetic crystal form of [Y(pc)(2)] demonstrated that its radical spin can be coherently driven in its magnetically condensed undeuterated phase and at room temperature. Liquid-helium nutations revealed additional Rabi oscillations assigned to transitions within higher-multiplicity states of finite-sized chain fragments.

Automated summary

The FID-detected nutations of the antiferromagnetic crystal [Y(pc)(2)] show that its radical spin can be driven coherently in its magnetically condensed undeuterated phase at room temperature. In liquid-helium measurements, additional Rabi oscillations were observed, attributed to transitions within higher-multiplicity states of finite-sized chain fragments.
