Electrical detection of nuclear spin echoes
Source abstract
Abstract
We show, via a straightforward calculation, that it is feasible to detect nuclear spin echoes in a ferromagnetic thin film by electrical means. The detection scheme is based on the deflection of the electronic magnetization when the nuclear magnetization reforms during an echo. This deflection is observed as a time-dependent magnetoresistive signal.

9. A more precise estimate of the optimal value of ϕ, and of ho, can be obtained by applying the techniques of W.B. Mims, Phys. Rev. 141 (1966) 141 and M.B. Stearns, Phys. Rev. 162 (1966) 496 (see also I.G. Kiliptari, Phys. Rev. B 52 (1995) 7346). Our purpose here is to establish the feasibility of observing spin echoes by electrical means; our conclusion is certainly little affected, for example, by an error in the estimate of ho by a factor of two.
