چکیده
We report the detailed experimental study on the production of electron-spin-polarized Sr+ ions through one-photon resonant two-photon ionization via laser-excited 5s5p 3P1 (MJ = +1) of Sr atoms produced by laser-ablation. We have experimentally confirmed that the use of laser-ablation for the production of Sr atoms prior to photoionization does not affect the electron-spin polarization. We have found that the degree of electron-spin polarization is 64+/-9%, which is in good agreement with our recent theoretical prediction. As we discuss in detail, we infer, from a simple analysis, that photoelectrons, being the counterpart of electron-spin-polarized Sr+ ions, have approximately the same degree of electron-spin polarization. Our experimental results demonstrate that the combined use of laser-ablation technique and pulsed lasers for photoionization would be a compact and effective way to realize a pulsed source for spin-polarized ions and electrons for the studies of various spin-dependent dynamics in chemical physics.

Paramagnetic C60 derivatives with one and more unpaired electrons: Spin polarization and photoelectron transfer
Fullerene C60 derivatives covalently linked to a nitroxide radical are studied by Time Resolved EPR. The interaction between radical and triplet or singlet excitation, localized on the fullerene moiety, gives rise to spin polarization of the radical EPR signal. The quartet state of the Radical Triplet Pair (RTP) is also observed by EPR. Electron transfer involving the excited fullerene triplet ...

Properly prepared pulse sequences of microwave and radio-frequency were employed to investigate the transient spin dynamics and the effect of polarization transfer from the polarized photo-excited triplet state of pentacene in pterphenyl crystals to the surrounding protons. The time evolution of the longitudinal magnetization of the triplet state was monitored in the electron-spin-echo (ESE) de...

We present a theoretical approach to investigate the electron spin polarization (ESP) of the excited triplet state that has been detected by using the time-resolved EPR (TREPR) method in the Photosystem II reaction center (PS II RC) of the plants. We show, by using the stochastic-Liouville equation, that the ESP pattern created in the accessory chlorophyll (ChlaccD1) which reside near the PD1 c...

The excited state and redox properties of three crown-ether derivatives of squaraines have been studied. Direct laser excitation of these dyes leads to the formation of excited triplets, dye radical cations and anions, via a biphotonic photoionization mechanism. All these transient species absorb strongly in the visible region. The triplet states of these dyes generated via triplet-triplet ener...
