Analysis of Spectral Diffusion of Localized Triplet Spin Transitions within an Inhomogeneous Profile.

Abstract

The observation of rapid changes in the lineshape of a hole burned in the spectral profile of a zero-field triplet spin transition indicates that spectral diffusion processes are occurring. A kinetic model which quantitatively reproduces the hole lineshape changes is used to calculate a spectral diffusion rate constant. The diffusion rate constant depends not only on the frequency shift (i.e., energy mismatch), but also on whether the excited molecule is deuterated, which suggests that the energy-conserving spin-flipping processes responsible for the homogeneous width are also responsible for spectral diffusion within the inhomogeneous profile.
