Department of Physics and Astronomy, The University of Alabama, University, Alabama 35486 Received July 1,1976 The induced transition probability between Zeeman levels was calculated in the case of a nuclear spin under a modulated magnetic field. It was shown that the intensities of the sidebands can be accurately calculated for a given lineshape of the signal when no significant saturation occurs. This result suggested a technique for accurately measuring the modulation amplitude of magnetic fields. This suggestion was confirmed experimentally in the case of an rf field produced by an ENDOR coil. A quantum-mechanical explanation for the production of sidebands was also found during the course of this calculation. I. INTRODUCTION It is well known in magnetic resonance studies that a magnetic modulation

produces sidebands when the modulation frequency is higher than the signal linewidth (1-5). Several workers (3,4,6, 7) have also shown theoretically that the relative intensity of a sideband is a function of the modulation frequency and amplitude. Thus the modulation amplitude can be determined from the sideband intensity, since one can measure the modulation frequency easily. Actually Burgess and Brown (1) made such a suggestion as early as 1952 (8). A technique such as that suggested by Burgess and Brown recently became important in our laboratory because of the development of a new electron-nuclear-doubleresonance (ENDOR) method (9-13). Of essential importance for this method is an intense radio frequency (rf) field which has to be 10 G or higher at the sample site. The difficult problem is not the production of the intense field but rather the confirmation of its field intensity. The technique suggested by Burgess and Brown should be able to measure the field intensity, if both magnetic field and rf field are applied perpendicular to the ENDOR coil. It is noted, however, that the proposed theories (3, 4, 6, 7) are based on the Bloch equation or Karplus’ theory (14) for microwave spectroscopy. It should be pointed out that the Bloch equation, though a highly useful expression in magnetic resonance, is not quantitatively accurate (25, 16). It should be also pointed out that in the Karplus theory the signal width is assumed to arise from collision broadening. This is not necessarily the case for a magnetic resonance signal ; in many cases, unresolved hyperfine * This work was supported by National Science Foundation Institutional Grant GU 3202. i Permanent address: Department of Physics, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan. $ Permanent address: Department of Chemistry, Osaka University, Osaka, Japan.

structures contribute to linewidth. Consequently, care must be taken when one tries to use these theories in an accurate determination of a physical quantity such as that of the rf magnetic field. For the reasons given above, in the present work we took a theoretical approach which is entirely different from those of the existing theories for sidebands. We calculated the transition probability between Zeeman levels of a nuclear spin which is under a magnetic field modulation. It was found that when no significant saturation occurs, the intensity of the nth sideband is proportional to [Jn(o)12. In this expression, J, is a Bessel function, and CJ= yHNI/mM, where HM is the modulation amplitude and wM is the modulation frequency. This proportionality was found to be similar to that derived by Haworth and Richards with the Bloch equation. It should be pointed out, however, that the present calculation has shown that the proportionality applied to a signal of any given lineshape, and hence, to a signal from any given sample. It was actually shown in the present work that the assumption for the special case of a Lorentzian lineshape results in the expression for the dc component of the complex magnetic polarization which Haworth and Richards have obtained. This proportionality was examined and confirmed with the use of a DPPH probe which was placed in the center of an ENDOR coil. It was also demonstrated that the distribution of the rf magnetic field can be determined as a function of the position relative to the ENDOR coil. In addition, a quantum-mechanical explanation for sideband production was found during the course of the present calculations. II. THEORY

In this section we discuss, first, the quantum state of a nuclear spin placed in a magnetic field which consists of a static field and a modulated field. We then calculate the probability of the transition induced between the quantum states by an electromagnetic field at the resonance frequency. When the static magnetic field Ho is applied parallel to the z axis, in the absence of the modulated field, the mth state of the nuclear spin I is given by the wave equation .7ifolm) = kw,lm),

[231

It is noted that both Wzk and WA, are independent of phase constant 6,. The first term Wj, is the important part of the transition probability which will be used for determination of the rf field. Now for the allowed transition, p mk= +o(seeEq. [16]), and, since IJn(-o)\2 = ]J,(o)12, W& is given by [241 The positive sign of o corresponds to emission, and the negative sign to absorptionSince the emission probability is the same as the absorption probability, hereafter only the absorption will be considered. W,,O depends on o through p(o - no&. When rz= 0, p(o - noM) becomes p(w), which represents the lineshape whose peak center is at Q, = @Ho. For a given n, p(o - nw,) represents the same lineshape as p(o) but with the peak center at o. + ylwM instead of mo. Thus when the linewidth is less than the modulation frequency, oM, p(o - noM) represents the mth sideband while p(o) represents the central band. The same conclusion is obtained when w is fixed and the magnetic field is swept; the interval of the resulting sideband is given by W&J in this case, since p(Ho + no,/y) should be used instead of p(o, - no&. When the radiation field is weak, and hence the saturation can be ignored, the signal intensity is proportional to the transition probability. Thus Eq. [24] indicates that when the radiation field is weak

where 1, is the intensity of the nth sideband. This result is similar to that obtained by Haworth and Richards (4). It should be emphasized, however, that the present result

applies to the case of any lineshape, and hence to signals from any real samples in general, as long as the radiation field is weak. In addition, since

one obtains F I,” = IO, n--m

1271

where Z” is the signal intensity under no modulation. Equation [27] indicates that the sum is independent of 0, and hence of NM, under a given weak radiation field. For signals of magnetic resonance in general, it is far easier to detect the first or second derivative of an absorption signal under a low-frequency modulation than the signal itself. In such cases, one can replace p in Eq. [24] by 8p/8Ho or Pp/azHo for the following reason. In integration in Eq. [20], the time t is required to be much longer than 271/o, that is, one period of the electromagnetic radiation. Hence it is noted that t can be chosen in such a way that it is much shorter than the period of the audiofrequency modulation. Consequently, in calculation of the transition probability, one can ignore the time-dependent change in Ho resulting from the audiofrequency modulation. For this reason, when an audiofrequency modulation is used, the resulting signal should be given by derivatives of Eq. [24]. The second term is not important for the present purpose. It can be shown that this term consists of harmonic terms of o,t which do not contribute to the dc component of transition probability (17). When the modulated field is perpendicular to Ho, its contribution to the sideband intensity should be of the order of (HM/Ho)2 times that given by Eq. [22] or Eq. [24] when Ho 9 HM. Hence, such a contribution can be ignored unless, for example, for an ESR experiment at 9 GHz, HM > 300 G. Thus when the rf field is not parallel to Ho, it is expected that only the z component of HM will contribute significantly to the sidebands if Ho $ HM. The present calculation does not include interaction terms such as hyperfine interaction and zero-field splitting. It should be noted, however, that even when these terms are included, the present calculations should be fairly accurate if the dc magnetic field is sufficiently high and hence [I=, A?] N 0 (Paschen-Back case).

It is of interest to consider the special case of a Lorentzian lineshape since a stationary solution of the Bloch equation is a Lorentzian. The case of I= 4 will be considered. The lineshape function may be given by P(O) = T2/{1 + TZco - wo)2)n,

It is noted that p(o - nwM) given by Eq. [29] has a peak at o = w0 + IZO~. Thus when l/T, c ~MM,Eq. [30] represents a set of the signals: the nth signal appears at w = o0 f nmhl and its intensity is proportional to ,Z,~(CT). Furthermore, it would be of interest to compute the complex susceptibility for the Lorentzian lineshape. The power P which is absorbed by a sample of unit volume is related to the imaginary part x”(o) of the complex susceptibility and the strength of the resonance field H’ by (18) P = W(H’)2 II” (w)/2.

The absorbed power is also related to the transition probability tion difference AN as

[381 n=-ml This is identical with the expression which Haworth and Richards obtained for the dc component of the signal with the use of the Bloch equation when saturation is ignored (see Ref. (4, first equation on p. 8); note that HI = H’/2). In the case of a nucleus of Z # 3, a simple relation such as that given by Eq. [34] does not hold in general between MO and AN. Under the high-temperature approximation, however, the population difference between the m - 1 and m states is approximately given by [N/(2Z+ l)]hyH,/(kT), and hence one obtains Eq. [38]. Thus in the case of a nucleus with Z other than +, Eq. [38] is accurate only when the high-temperature approximation applies. ml = 3 2 miyH’MoTJ:(~)

Thus an effect of the modulated field is such that a state with energy tie, = firno, is converted into a combination of states with energies fi(mo, + no,); the latter states have the same time-independent part as the original one. Consequently under a modulated field, the resonance frequencies will be w0 + (n - n’)wM instead of the single frequency oO. Thus this discussion provides a quantum-mechanical explanation of the appearance of side bands under a modulated magnetic field. Furthermore, the present discussion can be generalized easily.

Consequently on the basis of the preceding discussion, one expects the appearance of many sidebands. In most cases of spectroscopic investigations, splitting of a spectrum is known to. occur as a result of mixing two or more states by perturbation. According to the present calculation, the mechanism of splitting into sidebands in magnetic resonance is rather unusual, since no mixing of the Zeeman states is involved. As is shown by Eq. [39], the wavefunction which is transformed by modulation has no contribution from states other than the original mth state. V. EXPERIMENTAL

The ENDOR spectrometer employed for previous work (9-13) was used for the present observation. In addition to the rf modulation, the magnetic field was modulated at 16 kHz, and the second harmonic of the resulting signal was detected. The microwave frequency was 9 GHz. Signals from a tiny DPPH crystal, which is less than 0.1 mm on a side, were observed at room temperature. This crystal was prepared from a benzene solution by Dr. A. S. Jones, to whom we are grateful. VI.

EXPERIMENTAL

CONFIRMATION

The present calculation may be confirmed by examining the two relations given by Eqs. [25] and [27] experimentally. A probe of DPPH was used for this purpose, since the

signal is strong and is not saturated at room temperature unless a very high microwave power is applied. In the experiments given in this section, the probe was placed at the center of the ENDOR coil. The first relation was confirmed as follows. Sideband signals were observed for an rf modulation field of a given frequency and a given amplitude under a given microwave power level. Figure 1 shows examples of such observations when 0,/27c = 17.0 MHz.

---It+ 6.1 G FIG. 1. Sidebands of the ESR absorption from a tiny DPPH sample placed at the center of the ENDOR coil carrying an rf current at 17 MHz. In addition to the rf field the magnetic field was modulated at 16 MHz, and the second harmonic of the resulting signal was detected. The separation of the sideband peaks is 6.1 G, which is equivalent to the rf frequency, 17 MHz. The number to the right of each curve shows the corresponding rf field amplitude (NM) in gauss. The microwave frequency was 9 GHz, and the observation was made at room temperature. The static magnetic field was applied perpendicular to the ENDOR coil. The relative gain of the amplifier for the upper two curves was 5, and that for the lower two was 1.

Now the proportionality given by Eqs. [25] indicates that in each absorption curve the observed value of I,/&, should result in the same 0, and hence in the same H, (seeEq. [ 16]), regardless ofn. Table 1 lists the values of HM which were calculated from intensity ratios I,,/&, in the case of the sidebands given in Fig. 1. One notices that the value of HM is the same within experimental error under a given microwave level. Thus this fact confirms the first relation. The same experiment confirmed the second relation.

In the present experiment, the applied rf field was less than 20 G, and Ho N 3400 G. Thus, when the rf field is not parallel to H,, the effect of the modulation should essentially arise from the z component of the rf field, as was discussed in Section II. This prediction was also confirmed. Table 3 lists the observed value of HNI as a function of a, TABLE ORIENTATION

OF rf FIELD

The preceding experiment confirmed the theory described in Section II. Thus it is possible to measure the rf field by measuring the intensity ratio of the sidebands under a microwave power at which no significant saturation occurs. In formulating the theory no approximation was made, and hence the proportionality given by Eq. [25] is accurate. Consequently, in principle, an rf field of any magnitude can be determined with the use of the proposed technique. However, in practice, measurement of a small rf field was found to be difficult because of the weak sideband signal. For example, in the range of 16 to 30 MHz, it was found difficult to measure a field weaker than 0. I G. However, it appeared that there is no upper bound for measurable field intensity.

The ENDOR coil, which is supported by a Teflon frame, is a ten-turn loop made of plastic coated No. 38 copper wire. The arrow marked by & indicatesthe direction of the rf field at the position marked by the circle (senseof the direction is not important). The arrow marked by I& indicatesth applied dc magnetic field. When the rf field at the center was 12.1 G, the rf field at the position on a surfaceof the Teflon frame wasfound to be 7.6 G, and its direction to be 30” in terms of 0.

Since the DPPH probe was less than 0.1 mm on a side, it was possible to measure fairly accurately the distribution of the rf field as a function of position relative to the ENDOR coil. It was also possible to measure the direction of the rf field by observing the sidebands when the ENDOR coil is perpendicular to Ho and those when these two are parallel. Figure 2 illustrates the result of such a measurement whencoh1/2n = 17 MHz: when the rf field at the center was 12.1 G, the rf field at the position marked by an arrow which is on a surface of the Teflon frame was found to be 7.6 G, and its direction (0) to be 30.0” from Ho. In principle, the proposed technique should apply to any nuclear magnetic resonance using any sample. Thus we conducted a rather extensive examination of proton magnetic resonance in the case of water samples containing various concentrations of copper sulfate. In this examination, the resonance frequency was 14 MHz, and the modulation frequency ranged from 1 to 14 kHz. It was found difficult to suppress saturation effectively even for a high concentration of copper sulfate under a weak radiation field. Consequently, a different sideband peak resulted in a different vaJue of NM for a given modulation field. It was also found that when the modulation intensity varied, the sum of the sideband intensities varied. Thus this technique could not determine the modulation field accurately in the case of proton resonance.

For the reason given above, we feel that usefulness of the proposed technique is rather limited practically, although in principle its accuracy should be high in any case. Measurement of the rf field from an ENDOR coil is a rather special case to which the proposed technique applies effectively. VIII. CONCLUSIONS

It was shown that the induced transition probability between pure Zeeman levels can be calculated accurately in the case of a nuclear spin under a modulated magnetic field. The result applies to a signal of any lineshape under a modulation frequency which can be higher than the Zeeman frequency. On the basis of this result, it was also shown that as long as no significant saturation occurs, the intensity relation for sidebands, I,, cc IJ,( 2, which has been pointed out by other workers, is accurate for a signal of any lineshape and for any modulation frequency. The present results should still be fairly accurate when interactions such as hyperfine interaction are included, if the dc magnetic field is high enough (Paschen-Back case). It was shown that, in the special case of a Lorentzian lineshape, a classical limit of the present calculation results in the complex susceptibility which has been obtained with the use of the Bloch equation. A quantum-mechanical explanation was given for the production of sidebands in magnetic resonance. It was pointed out that no mixing of the Zeeman states occurs as a result of modulation, and hence the mechanism is rather unusual compared to most cases of splittings of signals in spectrascopy. It should be mentioned that the corresponding case of Stark modulation has also been treated quantum mechanically (19). However, this case involves a mixing of the original quantum states, and hence the mechanism of sideband production is different from the present case of magnetic modulation. The proportional relation, 1, CC1Jnj2,was examined experimentally in the case of the rf field from an ENDOR coil. The relation was found to be accurate within the experimental error, which was only a few percentage points in terms of the estimated rf field. On the basis of the present investigation, an experimental method for an accurate measurement of rf magnetic field was suggested and actually demonstrated.
