Abstract

Here, we discuss new quantum technologies being adapted to detect extraordinarily small magnetic fields. The signals are derived from the stimulated emission of light from single-atom defects in diamonds. The intensity of light reports the spin state of the electrons in the color center. The physics is relevant to geochemists because it points to a means of conducting NMR experiments on solutions in diamond-anvil cells. Because the method is so sensitive, it can detect signals in subnanoliter volumes, making work at elevated temperatures and pressures possible, and also on solutions that are dangerous in larger volumes.

Optically detected NMR in a diamond-anvil cell for geochemistry

Journal Article Wang, Zhipan ; McPherson, Christopher ; Kadado, Rashad ; ... - Advances in Organic Chemistry

Developments in quantum-information processing are being adapted to perform nuclear-magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on solutions in very small volumes. Here we describe efforts to adapt the technology to a diamond-anvil cell (DAC), with the goal of conducting solution NMR measurements at elevated pressures and temperatures. At the center of the method is the use of diamonds that have a particular type of defect that pairs a nitrogen atom substitution for near-surface carbon with a vacancy. These NV sites have unpaired electrons that can be excited while conserving electron spins and the amount of light released upon decay of the excitedmore »« less

Toward high-resolution NMR spectroscopy of microscopic liquid samples

Journal Article Butler, Mark C. ; Mehta, Hardeep S. ; Chen, Ying ; ... - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. PCCP (Print)

A longstanding limitation of high-resolution NMR spectroscopy is the requirement for samples to have macroscopic dimensions. Commercial probes, for example, are designed for volumes of at least 5 mL, in spite of decades of work directed toward the goal of miniaturization. Progress in miniaturizing inductive detectors has been limited by a perceived need to meet two technical requirements: (1) minimal separation between the sample and the detector, which is essential for sensitivity, and (2) near-perfect magnetic-field homogeneity at the sample, which is typically needed for spectral resolution. The first of these requirements is real, but the second can be relaxed,more »« less

Aqueous Geochemistry at High Pressures and High Temperatures

Technical Report Bass, Jay D.

This project is aimed at experimental characterization of the sound velocities, equations of state (EOS), and derived physical and chemical properties of aqueous solutions and carbon dioxide at extreme pressure and temperature conditions relevant to processes occurring in the interior of the Earth. Chemical transport, phase changes (including melting), fluid-solid reactions, and formation of magmatic liquids at convergent plat boundaries are a key motivation for this project. Research in this area has long been limited by the extreme experimental challenges and lack of data under the appropriate pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions. The vast majority of studies of aqueous geochemistry relevant tomore »« less

² H and ¹³⁹ La NMR Spectroscopy in Aqueous Solutions at Geochemical Pressures

Journal Article Ochoa, Gerardo ; Pilgrim, Corey D. ; Martin, Michele N. ; ... - Angewandte Chemie (International Edition)

Abstract Nuclear spin relaxation rates of ² H and ¹³⁹ La in LaCl ₃ + ² H ₂ O and La(ClO ₄ ) ₃ + ² H ₂ O solutions were determined as a function of pressure in order to demonstrate a new NMR probe designed for solution spectroscopy at geochemical pressures. The ² H longitudinal relaxation rates ( T ₁ ) vary linearly to 1.6 GPa, consistent with previous work at lower pressures. The ¹³⁹ La T ₁ values vary both with solution chemistry and pressure, but converge with pressure, suggesting that the combined effects of increased viscosity and enhancedmore »« less
