Finding a needle in a haystack: optical detection and spectroscopy of single absorbers in solids

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Optical detection and spectroscopy of single tons in vacuum confined in electromagnetic traps1 have led to novel measurements that test our understanding of quantum physics. The detection and spectroscopy of a single absorber in a solid [single molecule detection (SMD)] would provide a useful tool for the study of local host- absorber interactions where the absorbing center is at rest, confined by the host lattice, and where the normal averaging over many equivalent centers is removed.
