Abstract

We developed molecular layer deposition method of atomically thin hybrid polymer film for the first time by developing atomic layer deposition method with sequential surface chemical reactions in order to minimize the effect of the dipole-dipole interaction between the electron spin of alkali metal atoms and the nuclear spin of the atoms in the glass of the cell. We controlled film thickness of polymer thin film precisely and finally aimed at improving the sensitivity of the optically pumped atomic magnetometer. In the presentation, we report on the relaxation time of spin polarization by atomically thin hybrid polymer film with laser pump-probe method.
