Abstract
We have obtained population inversion of a system of polarized (P=80%) electron spins in a solid during a very fast (dB z dt=4·105T·s−1) reversal of the external magnetic field. The electrons were trapped at oxygen vacancies in CaO single crystals. This method, whch does not exploit any high frequency electromagnetic field, has been for the first time successfully used to achieve an inverted state of electron spins in a solid. The negative temperature of an electron spin ensembleT=−23 mK has been obtained.
