Decaying, field-induced

The interpretation of our CPG data is complicated by the presence of comparatively fast radiative and nonradiative decay channels for the singlet exciton, which compete with the field-induced dissociation. In order to provide a clear picture of the observed mechanism and disentangle it from the singlet exciton decay dynamics, we define the following phenomenological time-dependent parameter ... 

Figure 10.16 The figure clearly shows that the total external electric field, induced by the whole tip array, decreases to less then 103 V/cm at a distance of 1 pm from the sample surface, due to the fast decay of the electric field caused by the shape and size of the tip. Thus, although the tip array creates almost a uniform electric field at distances > 1 pm from the surface, this does not change the domain growth relative to the single tip case.

Other significant spectral changes are also observed. The total splitting increases from 8.3 cm-1 at B=0 T to 24 cm-1 at 5= 12 T. Moreover, due to the field induced mixings of the wave functions, the radiative allowedness of the transitions from the T substates to the ground state is strongly redistributed. The emission from the lowest B-field disturbed substate 1(B) becomes dominant, while the transitions 11(B) —> 0 and III(B) — 0 lose intensity. This is also displayed in the emission decay time of substate I at 1.5 K, which becomes as short as 12 ps at 12 T, while it amounts to 85 ps at zero-field (see next section). Due to this B-field induced increase of radiative allowedness, it also becomes possible to tune magnetically other important properties like the mechanisms of vibrational deactivation [78-82]. 

At low temperatures (e.g. T = 1.9 K) magnetic fields induce a blue shift by 200 to 300 cm-1 of the low energetic components and further the emission decay time is reduced by about three orders of magnitude. At temperatures above about 10 K the emission properties do not depend on magnetic fields94,151). (These effects are further discussed in Sect. G.)... 

Pfister (1977) measured hole mobilities of TPA doped PC. Figure 51 shows the temperature dependencies for different concentrations. The field was 7.0 x 105 v/cm. The concentration is expressed as the weight ratio X of TPA to PC. The mobilities were thermally activated with activation energies that increase with decreasing TPA concentration. The concentration dependence was described by the lattice gas model with a wavefunetion decay constant of 1.3 A. Figure 52 shows the field dependencies at different temperatures for X - 0.40. The solid lines were derived from the Scher-Montroll theoiy (1975) using the listed parameters. Pfister concluded that the theoiy provides a self-consistent interpretation of all experimental observations if field-induced barrier lowering and temperature-dependent dispersion are formally introduced into the expression for the transit time. 

Ono and Ware"" have measured the absorption, emission, and excitation spectra, the fluorescence decay times, and the quantum yields of a series of substituted diphenylmethylenes in rigid matrices at low temperatures. Acean-thrylene shows S2- So emission in hexane with a yield of 0.017 and lifetime of 4.3 ns. The low-temperature fluorescence spectra of bis-2-naphthyl-alkanes and their derivatives have been studied. Excimer formation is an activated process. The fluorescence and absorption spectra of 1,1-diphenyl-ethylenes have been analysed in some detail by Gustav and Bolke. " The S — Si transitions in trans isomers of phenylnaphthylethylenes have been assigned by picosecond absorption spectroscopy. Effects of solvent viscosity and the role of conformers in the mechanism of isomerization are elucidated. The production of non-equilibrium conformer concentrations in glassy solutions of diarylethylenes at 77 K due to restrictions imposed by the solid matrix has also been reported. Free jet excitation and emission spectra of diphenyl-butadiene show clearly the lowest excited Ag state and give a lifetime of 52.8 ns for 0-0 excitation.Electric field-induced charges in the optical... 

The calculation of off-diagonal mafrix elemenfs means that two, rather than one, wavefunctions must be accurate for fhe fransition of interest. In fact, when the total response of a sfafe is sfudied wifh respect to its energy shift and broadening (decay into the continuous spectrum [10]), there are many different field-induced off-diagonal mafrix elemenfs. 

It can safely be stated that flow or transfer devices are the most frequent add-ons to the conventional hardware a routine CIDNP experiment needs, for two reasons. First, CIDNP relies on chemical turnover, so a depletion of the reactants or a buildup of unwanted products are commonly encoimtered problems a flow system can help avoid. Second, CIDNP in low and variable magnetic fields is very attractive because valuable information can be obtained however, spectral resolution would be totally lost if the low field inducing the polarizations were also used for acquiring the free induction decay, so a means of transferring the sample between different magnets, or at least different field regions, is indispensable. 

These states are formed inside the continuous spectra of the total Hamiltonian and are responsible for phenomena such as resonances in electron scattering from atoms or molecules, autoionization, predissociation, etc. Furthermore, in this work we also consider as unstable states those states that are constructs of the time-independent theory of the interaction of an atom (molecule) with an external field which is either static or periodic, in which case the effect of the interaction is obtained as an average over a cycle. In this framework, the "atom - - field" state is inside the continuous (ionization or dissociation) spectrum, and so certain features of the problem resemble those of the unstable states of the field-free Hamiltonian. The probability of decay of these field-induced unstable states corresponds either to tunneling or to ionization-dissociation by absorption of one or more photons. 

In the same spirit, problems that involve the cycle-averaged interaction of static or ac fields wifh afoms and molecules in the ground or in excited states have been formulated and solved here within a time-independent, stationary-state framework, as problems of field-induced decaying unstable) states.
