Optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR)

The main approaches to optical detection of magnetic resonance (ODMR) and the basic instrumental requirements are discussed, including measurements in either emission (fluorescence, delayed fluorescence, or phosphorescence) or absorption and either zero field or magnetic fields for which the Zeeman energy dominates over the zero-field splitting. Representative systems that can be studied by means of ODMR are considered: (i) spin triplets in molecules and crystals, in the excited or ground state; (ii) half-integer spin systems; and (iii) interacting spin pairs such as found in inorganic and organic semiconductors. In each case, I discuss the spin-dependent optical properties and the underlying processes that make them accessible through ODMR spectroscopy, along with illustrative examples.
