Abstract
En 中文
Magnons, the quanta of spin waves in magnetic materials, are promising for hybrid quantum systems by bridging electromagnetic and spin degrees of freedom. The organometallic ferrimagnet vanadium tetracyanoethylene (V[TCNE]x, x ≈ 2) is especially well-suited for quantum magnonics due to its low Gilbert damping and substrate versatility. However, its rapid chemical degradation in ambient conditions hinders practical applications. Incumbent encapsulation methods provide some protection, but are bulky, obscure intrinsic properties of V[TCNE]x, introduce thermal stress at cryogenic temperatures, and complicate microwave device integration. Here, we demonstrate that ultrathin alumina films deposited via low-temperature atomic layer deposition effectively protect V[TCNE]x by preserving its magnetic and magnonic properties following ambient exposure. The sub-100 nm transparent films also enable advanced spectroscopy, magnetometry, and cavity magnonic measurements that reveal the intrinsic properties of V[TCNE]x. This encapsulation strategy advances molecule-based quantum information science by providing a robust route toward scalable, monolithic integration in hybrid quantum technologies. Ultrathin alumina encapsulation protects the magnetic, magnonic, and optical properties of air-sensitive V[TCNE]ₓ, enabling characterization of intrinsic material properties and integration of this organic-based magnet into cryogenic quantum devices.
