OSCILLATING CANTILEVER-DRIVEN ADIABATIC REVERSALS IN A PARAMAGNETIC ATOM WITH THE HYPERFINE INTERACTION
We have verified theoretically, an opportunity for the measurement of a nuclear spin state in a paramagnetic atom with oscillating cantilever-driven adiabatic reversals (OSCAR) technique in magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM), which has been applied for a single electron spin detection. We have developed a semi-classical approach, where the electron-nuclear spin system is treated as a quantum mechanical one while the motion of a ferromagnetic particle on the cantilever tip is considered classically. Our computations support the idea of the measurement of a nuclear spin state by detection of a single electron spin. The effect of magnetic noise is also discussed.
