Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Chemistry

Background:

  • Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) is analogous to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR).
  • Motion-induced phase shifts in pulsed ESR signals can detect electron drift velocity and electronic current.
  • Challenges exist due to magnetic field gradients induced by the current itself.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the direct detection of electron flow using ESR.
  • To overcome technical difficulties associated with current-induced magnetic field gradients.
  • To measure electron drift velocity in organic conductors and verify the microscopic Ohmic law.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized pulsed Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectroscopy.
  • Applied a method to counteract magnetic field gradients generated by the electronic current.
