In the spin noise spectroscopy, the magnetic susceptibility spectrum is known to be provided by the spinsystem untouched by any external perturbation, or, better to say, disturbed only by its thermal bath. We propose a new version of the spin noise spectroscopy, with the detected magnetization (Faraday-rotation) noise being stimulated by an external fluctuating magnetic field with a quasi-white spectrum. Experimental study of the stimulated spin noise performed on a BaF 2 : U 3+ crystal in a longitudinal magnetic field has revealed specific features of this approach and allowed us to identify the Van-Vleck and population-related contributions to the AC susceptibility of the system and to discover unusual magnetic-field dependence of the longitudinal spin relaxation rate in low magnetic fields. It is shown that spectra of the stimulated and spontaneous spin noise, being both closely related to the spin-system magnetic susceptibility, are still essentially different. Distinctions between the two types of the spin-noise spectra and two approaches to the spin noise spectroscopy are discussed. arXiv:1906.12104v1 [cond-mat.mes-hall]
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
