Spin–Spin Coupling Constant: Overview

Spin–Spin Coupling Constant: Overview

In bromoethane, the three methyl protons are coupled to the two methylene protons that are three bonds away. In accordance with the n+1 rule, the signal from the methyl protons is split into three peaks with 1:2:1 relative intensities. The methylene protons appear as a quartet, with the relative intensities of 1:3:3:1.
Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must...

Spin–Spin Coupling: One-Bond Coupling

Spin–Spin Coupling: One-Bond Coupling

Coupling interactions are strongest between NMR-active nuclei bonded to each other, where spin information can be transmitted directly through the pair of bonding electrons. While nuclei polarize their electrons to the opposite spins, the bonding electron pair has opposite spins. Configurations with antiparallel nuclear spins are expected to be lower in energy. When coupling makes antiparallel states more favorable, J is considered to have a positive value. The one-bond coupling constant, 1J,...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)

Two NMR-active nuclei bonded to a central atom can be involved in geminal or two-bond coupling. Geminal coupling is commonly seen between diastereotopic protons in chiral molecules and unsymmetrical alkenes, among others.
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

Electric Field at the Surface of a Conductor

Electric Field at the Surface of a Conductor

Consider a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium. The net electric field inside a conductor vanishes, and extra charges on the conductor reside on its outer surface, regardless of where they originate.
In the 19th century, Michael Faraday conducted the famous ice pail experiment to prove that the charges always reside on the surface of a conductor. The experimental set-up consists of a conducting uncharged container mounted on an insulating stand. The outer surface of the container is...

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges

A stationary charge creates and interacts with the electric field, while a moving charge creates a magnetic field.
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...

Atomic Nuclei: Nuclear Spin State Overview

Atomic Nuclei: Nuclear Spin State Overview

NMR-active nuclei have energy levels called 'spin states' that are associated with the orientations of their nuclear magnetic moments. In the absence of a magnetic field, the nuclear magnetic moments are randomly oriented, and the spin states are degenerate. When an external magnetic field is applied, the spin states have only 2 + 1 orientations available to them. A proton with = ½ has two available orientations. Similarly, for a quadrupolar nucleus with a nuclear spin value of...

Background:

Spin accumulation and pure spin currents are crucial for spintronic devices.
Traditional methods involve ferromagnetic spin injectors, limiting device integration.
Two-dimensional electron systems offer novel platforms for spin transport studies.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate nonlocal spin transport in two-dimensional surface-conducting SrTiO₃ (STO).
To explore spin generation and detection without ferromagnetic materials, utilizing the spin Hall effect.
To characterize spin transport properties in STO, including spin lifetime and diffusion length.

Main Methods:

Nonlocal spin transport measurements on Hall bars of surface-conducting STO.
Utilized the spin Hall effect (and inverse spin Hall effect) for spin current generation and detection.
Applied magnetic fields at various angles to probe spin precession (Hanle effect) and anisotropy.

Main Results:

Demonstrated nonlocal spin transport in STO without a ferromagnetic spin-injector.
Observed an anisotropic spin signal, consistent with pure spin current Hanle precession.
Extracted key parameters: spin Hall angle (γ ≈ 0.25 ± 0.05), spin lifetime (τ ∼ 49 ps), and spin diffusion length (λ_s ≈ 1.23 ± 0.7 μm) at 2 K.

Conclusions:

Surface-conducting STO is a viable material for nonlocal spin transport via the spin Hall effect.
The observed anisotropy confirms the presence and behavior of pure spin currents.
Provides essential transport parameters for advancing STO-based spintronic applications.
