Using highly correlated MCSCF-Cl wave functions for the A rij and X states, the transition moment function for the A - X transition has been calculated which in turn allowed the evaluation of Einstein coefficients of spontaneous emission A, (v = 0,1 v" = 0,1,2), absorption oscillator strengths f v (v = 0,1 v" = 0,1), and radiative lifetimes for A Ili, v = 0,1 of PH and PD. The v = 0 lifetime Xrad = 399 ns for PH (390 ns for PD) is shorter than the experimental value, probably because the large correlation energy contributions to the transition moment have not been sufficiently accounted for in the calculation [32]. 

As discussed in [22], the spherical symmetry of is destroyed when these ions are situated in solids, so that a multiplet term level can be split up to 2/ + 1 crystal field levels for a non-Kramers ion. Due to the parity selection mle for pure electronic transitions in solids, the 41 (i) 4 (f) transition between states i and f is ED forbidden to first order. Parity describes the inversion behavior of the wavefunction of an electronic orbital, so that s,d... orbitals have even parity whereas p,f... orbitals are odd. The spectral feature representing the pure electronic transition is termed the electronic origin or the zero phonon line. An ED transition requires a change in orbital parity because the transition dipole operator (pe) is odd, and the overall parity for the nonzero integral involving the Einstein coefficient of spontaneous emission, A(ED) ... 

In addition, Einstein recognized that a system can go from an excited state to a lower-energy state spontaneously if there is a spontaneous emission of a photon of the right frequency. This spontaneous emission is dependent on the concentration of species in the excited state but not dependent on the photon density p v). The rate of spontaneous emission is characterized by A, the Einstein coefficient of spontaneous emission ...

The Einstein coefficient of spontaneous emission, A = 3.7 0.6 s thus Xrad = 0-27 0.04 s, was determined by measuring the absolute a A->>X emission rate using a calibrated (emission intensity from the O + NO reaction) optical detection system and the absolute NH(a A) concentration using an ESR spectrometer the NH(a A) molecules were generated by the reaction FH-NH2NH + HF in a fast-flow reaction chamber equipped with these two detection systems [3]. 

The molecule-intrinsic factor in the intensities of emission spectra can be obtained from the well-known Einstein coefficients (see, for example. Refs. [20, 21]). For the two states i and f considered above, whose energies are Ei and Ef, respectively, with Ei < Ef, we define as the Einstein coefficient for absorption, Bfl as the Einstein coefficient for stimulated emission, and Afl as the Einstein coefficient for spontaneous emission. We denote by Ni and Nf the number of molecules with energies Ei and Ef, respectively, and the Einstein coefficients are defined such that, for example, the change in Nf caused by electric dipole transitions to and from i is given by... 

On the basis of these formulae one can convert measurements of area, which equals the integral in the latter formula, under spectral lines into values of coefficients in a selected radial function for electric dipolar moment for a polar diatomic molecular species. Just such an exercise resulted in the formula for that radial function [129] of HCl in formula 82, combining in this case other data for expectation values (0,7 p(v) 0,7) from measurements of the Stark effect as mentioned above. For applications involving these vibration-rotational matrix elements in emission spectra, the Einstein coefficients for spontaneous emission conform to this relation. 

These equations are similar to those of first- and second-order chemical reactions, I being a photon concentration. This applies only to isotropic radiation. The coefficients A and B are known as the Einstein coefficients for spontaneous emission and for absorption and stimulated emission, respectively. These coefficients play the roles of rate constants in the similar equations of chemical kinetics and they give the transition probabilities.

Thus the net probability of absorption of rf energy, which is proportional to the strength of the NMR signal, is...
