Excited-state orbital angular momentum enables all-optical molecular spin coherence
Erica Sutcliffe, Jonathan P. Aalto, Ryan G. HadtWe demonstrate the first ultrafast spin coherence measurements on non-octahedral molecules. Coherence persists for several nanoseconds at room temperature, enabling time-domain optical detection of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra.
