| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An optical pumping atomic magnetometer using spin polarization of alkali metal atoms can be expected to have sensitivity exceeding SQUID at room temperature, so there is a possibility to monitor minute magnetic fields derived from the heart and cranial nerves even at the bedside. However, there is a problem that the polarized spin is relaxed when atoms collide with the inner wall of the cell. In this study, in order to minimize the effect of dipole-dipole interaction between the electron spin of the alkali metal atom and the nuclear spin of the atom in the coating, we focused on the deuterium nucleus with a small magnetic moment, The world's first molecular layer deposition method for deuterated polymer thin films was developed by developing the atomic layer deposition method based on the sequential surface chemical reaction developed in.
