Quantum-Sensing Crystals Grew on Glass in Minutes
Commercial precursors produced room-temperature optically addressable molecular films in air.
Summary
Commercial precursors produced room-temperature optically addressable molecular films in air.
Microspacing in-air sublimation used microgram quantities of commercial precursors to grow optically clear molecular crystals on glass without vacuum or inert-gas handling. Several chemically distinct pairs showed room-temperature optically detected magnetic resonance, and one supported coherent ensemble spin control with a reported 0.56-microsecond coherence time. The work establishes a rapid materials-screening route, not a finished sensor platform.
