Magnetization of a System of High-Spin Ions in Zero Magnetic Field with Microwave Pulses at Finite Temperatures

— The resonant microwave pulses have been shown to be able to create magnetization of high-spin ( S ≥ 1) metal ions even in the absence of an external magnetic field. This transformation of the ion spin states is similar to the “alignment–orientation” transition in atomic spectroscopy. These manipulations make it possible to translate the results of elementary quantum computing operations performed in zero magnetic fields into physically observable quantities.
