Physical Principles

ABSTRACTRecently the first experiments in magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) have been conducted. In these experiments a force microscope cantilever is used to detect the magnetic force exerted by electrons and nuclei in a sample. The magnetization of the sample is modulated at the resonant frequency of the cantilever, using standard magnetic resonance techniques. The resulting excitation of the cantilever is detected optically. This article reviews the present status of MRFM technology, emphasizing the physical principles involved and the opportunities for further research and development. Particular emphasis is placed on single spin detection by MRFM and potential applications in biomolecular imaging.

The problem of measuring single electron or nuclear spins is of great interest for a variety of purposes, from imaging the structure of molecules to quantum information processing. One of the most promising techniques is magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM), in which the force between a spin and a small permanent magnet resonantly drives the oscillations of a microcantilever. Numerous issues arise in understanding this system: thermal noise in the cantilever, shot-noise and back-action from monitoring the cantilever's motion, spin relaxation, and interaction with higher cantilever modes. Detailed models of these effects allow one to assess their relative importance and the necessary improvements for sensitivity at the single-spin level.
