Polarization relaxation energy

The difference in measured values of a for xenon in the gas phase and on the surface is equal to twice the polarization relaxation energy of the substrate, e . The details of this argument can be found in reference (13). 

Figures 5-8 show further that the two features of the condensed phase spectra which differ from their gas-phase counterparts are the energies and widths of the individual ionization peaks or optical-absorption lines. In both the UPS and UAS spectra the lines in the solid state are shifted to lower energies relative to the corresponding ones in the gas phase by a relaxation energy, 1 eV for ion states and % 0.1 eV for exciton states, associated with the intermolecular polarization induced by the ion or exciton (1, 2, ). In addition, these...

The purpose of this section has been to utilize a molecular ion concept to provide a satisfactory interpretation of the UPS and UVA data given in Figs. 5, 6, 7 and 8. In particular, the molecular ion concept affords an elementary prediction of the surprising result that the measured intermolecular relaxation energies are the same for both PVP and PS (20) even though the former is a polar material and while the latter is not (i.e., the two materials exhibit quite different low-frequency dielectric responses). 

Circular polarization of luminiscence, stopped-flow fluorescence, fluorescence-monitored chemical relaxation, the evaluation of relative orientation by polarized excitation energy transfer, time-resolved fluorescent polarization ( nanosecond polarization ), and other new techniques have become valuable means for studying protein structures, their interactions and structural changes in relation to various treatments (e.g. denaturation). New fluorescent probes and quenchers have enabled the research field to expand from isolated proteins to more complicated systems such as membranes, muscle and nerve components and other subcellular structures (see also 7.3). 

In the present calculations, the geometries of the Zn clusters up to Zn were taken from Ref. (39). The larger clusters are assumed to have simple hexagonal symmetry (hex) or hexagonal close-packed synunetry (hep) with the same bond distances as in the bulk (45). We performed self consistent calculations on both neutral and ionized clusters (ASCF) in order to account properly for relaxation energies. In the case of ions the calculations were carried out using the spin polarized approach. 

Fig. 4 Solvent relaxation energies of the electronic states of a solvated fluoiophore are depicted by bold lines, vibrational states by thin lines-, the long arrows and wavy lines show individutil processes the changes of the dipole moment and geometry of the fluorophore upon excitation and emission are depicted by different orientations of the short arrow and the ellipsoidal prolongation. The changes in the arrangement and orientation of polar solvent molecules are also indicated...
