Using the example of two closely spaced localized alkaline-earth atoms, we consider the possibilities of the quantum beat method (a version of the level-crossing spectroscopy in a magnetic field) in finding two parameters characterizing the system, namely, the direction from one atom to another and the distance between them. The applicability of the method to the nanoscopy of systems of closely spaced quantum dots, vacancy centers (NV centers, etc.), and impurity atoms (molecules) in crystals is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
