Abstract

Our recent developments in highly sensitive high-frequency electron spin resonance (ESR) using a microcantilever are reviewed. ESR signals of a Co Tutton salt microcrystal (<1 μg) have been detected at low temperature at frequencies up to 315 GHz under a static magnetic field using a microcantilever and a modulation technique. The achieved sensitivity is about 109 spins/G at 4.5 K. Moreover, we have shown that similar ESR detection using a microcantilever is possible up to 130 GHz under a pulsed magnetic field without using a modulation technique. The achieved sensitivity is about 1011 spins/G at 1.7 K. These results suggest that the ESR detection using a microcantilever is promising for applications to high-resolution and high-sensitivity terahertz ESR.
