Singlet amplitude

The microwave-power dependence of the singlet and doublet EPR signals is shown in Fig. 4 (B). The doublet has a maximum amplitude in the 20- to 50-mW range at 7 K. The singlet amplitude is at a maximum at very low microwave power and decreases very rapidly as the microwave power increases. 

Under these conditions the singlet amplitude is distributed according to a Lorentzian distribution over the molecular eigenstates. Exciting with a broad (white) laser (or at least with a laser that completely spans the interaction width), one then sees in the fluorescence first the Fourier transform of the Lorentzian distribution, that is, an exponential decay. The density of /c> was, however, not taken to be so high as to dilute the singlet amplitude effectively to zero. It was taken to be intermediate, which meant that each ME still had enough radiative probability so as to radiate independently,...

It should be pointed out here that the outcome of the question of the fast component is still basically Lahmani et al. ss original suggestion, except that the number of states is limited, the variation of the coupling constants is considerable, and, therefore, the MEs do not show a Lorentzian distribution of the singlet amplitude. Numbers drawn from the A+/A amplitude may therefore not be very meaningful, also because the amplitude of the fast component will depend on the width of the laser used. 

Amirav and Jortner29 resolved this question by the assumption that in the triplet manifold K mixing would occur, which would break the AK = 0 selection rule in the coupling and let the number of triplets coupled increases as (2J + 1). Such a suggestion was made earlier by Novak and Rice.32 If the number of triplets increases, the singlet amplitude in the MEs must decrease, and, therefore, the radiative lifetime of the MEs decreases. Very soon the ME lifetimes are dominated by the triplet decay, and if it is independent of J, the...

As is outlined for ene reactions of singlet oxygen in Scheme 15, the prototypical ene reaction starts with the electron delocalization from the HOMO of propene to the LUMO of X=Y. The delocalization from the HOMO, a combined n and orbital with larger amplitude on n, leads to a bond formation between the C=C and X=Y bonds. Concurrent elongation of the bond enables a six-membered ring transition stracture, where partial electron density is back-donated from the LUMO of X=Y having accepted the density, to an unoccupied orbital of propene localized on the bond. As a result, the partial electron density is promoted (pseudoex-cited) from the HOMO (it) to an unoccupied orbital (ct n ) of alkenes. This is a reaction in the pseudoexcitation band.

It is important to emphasize (see Ref. [2]) that the TC in this case differs from the TC realized in the superfluid He3 and, for example, in materials like Sr2RuC>4 [4], The triplet-type superconducting condensate we predict here is symmetric in momentum and therefore is insensitive to non-magnetic impurities. It is odd in frequency and is called sometimes odd superconductivity. This type of the pairing has been proposed by Berezinskii in 1975 [5] as a possible candidate for the mechanism of superfluidity in He3. However, it turned out that another type of pairing was realized in He3 triplet, odd in momentum p (sensitive to ordinary impurities) and even in the Matsubara frequencies w. It is also important to note that while the symmetry of the order parameter A in Refs. [4, 5] differs from that of the BCS order parameter, in our case A is nonzero only in the S layers and is of the BCS type. It is determined by the amplitude of the singlet component. Since the triplet and singlet components are connected which each other, the TC affects A in an indirect way. 

The Usadel equation can be solved in some limiting cases [15]. In Fig. 2 we present the spatial dependence of the condensate function (singlet and triplet). One can see that the SC penetrates the F layer over a short distance of the order whereas the TC penetrates over a long distance = y/Df/2itT. The amplitude of the long-range part of the TC has a maximum at a = 7r/4.
