Rabi oscillations from ultrasound in spin systems

Other Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

It is shown that ultrasound in the GHz range can generate space-time Rabi oscillations between spin states of molecular magnets. We compute dynamics of the magnetization generated by surface acoustic waves and discuss conditions under which this novel quantum effect can be observed.
