Four-state system

By constructing a cyclic version as in Scheme VII it is readily seen that this is a four-state system, so it possesses three relaxation times.

Suppose that we are talking about a double-quantum transition in which both the proton and carbon change from the a state to the p state. This transition is thus from the aH c state to the PuPc state ol l lc two-spin, four-state system. This transition corresponds to DQC. Likewise, if the proton flips from ft to a while the carbon simultaneously flips from a to P, we have a zero-quantum transition (P ac to a Pc) because the total number of spins in the excited (ft) state has not changed. This transition corresponds to ZQC. What can we say about these mysterious coherences In Section 7.10, we encountered ZQC and DQC as intermediate states in coherence transfer, created with pulses from antiphase SQC ... 

With the model of Equation (19) and with a reasonable estimate of the free energies A(fn and AG°3 we can start to evaluate the apparent activation barrier. Before doing so, we must clarify several points (i) A Marcus type relationship and the corresponding LFERs are only valid for a two-state system (1 —>2), i.e., for a reaction with a single step. However, we have a three-state process that involves a two-step mechanism (1 ->2->3). Fitting such a system to a Marcus type formula can lead to nonphysical parameters (e.g., too small of a value for X). (ii) In order to use the HAW approach in a three-state system (or in a four-state system) we must consider the elementary rate constants and then consider the preequilibrium concentrations.

Fig. 1 illustrates a four state system in which the first three states are highly coupled, and a group association with the corresponding eigenvalues exists. The fourth state has a one-to-one association with the eigenvalue A4.

Four-level lasers offer a distinct advantage over tlieir tliree-level counterjiarts, (figure C2.15.5). The Nd YAG system is an excellent example of a four-level laser. Here tlie tenninal level for tlie laser transition, 2), is unoccupied tlius resulting in an inverted state as soon as any atom is pumped to state 3. Solid-state systems based on tliis pumping geometry dominate tlie marketplace for high-power laser devices. 

Ammonia is a two-state system [16], in which the two base states lie at a minimum energy. They are connected by the inversion reaction with a small baiiier. The process proceeds upon the spin re-pairing of four electrons (Fig. 15) and has a very low barrier. The system is analogous to the tetrahedral carbon one... 

A dye molecule has one or more absorption bands in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum (approximately 350-700 nm). After absorbing photons, the electronically excited molecules transfer to a more stable (triplet) state, which eventually emits photons (fluoresces) at a longer wavelength (composing three-level system.) The delay allows an inverted population to build up. Sometimes there are more than three levels. For example, the europium complex (Figure 18.15) has a four-level system. 

Laser action involves mainly the 3/2 hi/i transition at about 1.06 pm. Since is not the ground state, the laser operates on a four-level system (see Figure 9.2c) and consequently is much more efficient than the ruby laser. 

Figure lb shows a four-level system. The terminal level, level 2, is ordinarily empty. Atoms are optically pumped to level 4. From level 4, the atoms make a rapid radiationless transition to level 3. The first few atoms to arrive begin to contribute to the population inversion. Therefore, laser operation can begin with much less intense pumping light. After the laser transition, the atoms return to the ground state (level 1) by a radiationless transition. 

Transfer matrix calculations of the adsorbate chemical potential have been done for up to four sites (ontop, bridge, hollow, etc.) or four states per unit cell, and for 2-, 3-, and 4-body interactions up to fifth neighbor on primitive lattices. Here the various states can correspond to quite different physical systems. Thus a 3-state, 1-site system may be a two-component adsorbate, e.g., atoms and their diatomic molecules on the surface, for which the occupations on a site are no particles, an atom, or a molecule. On the other hand, the three states could correspond to a molecular species with two bond orientations, perpendicular and tilted, with respect to the surface. An -state system could also be an ( - 1) layer system with ontop stacking. The construction of the transfer matrices and associated numerical procedures are essentially the same for these systems, and such calculations are done routinely [33]. If there are two or more non-reacting (but interacting) species on the surface then the partial coverages depend on the chemical potentials specified for each species. 

It should be noted that the steady-state solution of Equation (12) is not necessarily unique. This can easily be seen in the case of the four-reservoir system shown in Fig. 4-7. In the steady state all material will end up in the two accumulating reservoirs at the bottom. However, the distribution between these two reservoirs will... 

The evaluation of the action of the Hamiltonian matrix on a vector is the central computational bottleneck. (The action of the absorption matrix, A, is generally a simple diagonal damping operation near the relevant grid edges.) Section IIIA discusses a useful representation for four-atom systems. Section IIIB outlines one aspect of how the action of the kinetic energy operator is evaluated that may prove of general interest and also is of relevance for problems that require parallelization. Section IIIC discusses initial conditions and hnal state analysis and Section HID outlines some relevant equations for the construction of cross sections and rate constants for four-atom problems of the type AB + CD ABC + D.
