Luminescence in Applied Magnetic Fields.
Abstract
External fields (0-6 kG) applied to inorganic complexes of (nd)8 configurations were shown to produce macroscopic changes in luminescence frequencies and lifetimes. Frequency shifts of about 400/cm were observed. A theoretical study of the octaphosphitoplatinum(II) ion was completed that relates the changes in optical properties to the degree of spin-orbit coupling in the anion. A search for complexes of iridium(I) and rhodium(I) possessing energy level schemes propitious for observing large perturbations of optical properties by relatively small external fields was completed and revealed several promising candidates. The technique of thermal modulation spectroscopy was developed and applied to several types of complexes to evaluate them for future magnetic perturbation measurements.
