Quantum Dynamical Echoes in the Spin 'Diffusion' in Mesoscopic Systems

Condensed Matter 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

The evolution of local spin polarization in finite systems involves interference phenomena that give rise to {\bf quantum dynamical echoes }and non-ergodic behavior. We predict the conditions to observe these echoes by exploiting the NMR sequences devised by Zhang et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf % 69}, 2149 (1992)], which uses a rare 13^{13}C as {\bf local probe }for a dipolar coupled 1^1H spin system. The non-ideality of this probe when testing mesoscopic systems is carefully analyzed revealing the origin of various striking experimental features.
