Singlet and triplet yields in radiolysis. Magnetic-field effects on fluorescence

Abstract

Early work on the effect of magnetic fields on ion-recombination fluorescence from hydrocarbon solutions provided evidence for the retention of spin correlation, but detailed interpretation of the results proved controversial. Recent work with β-particles on cyclohexane-benzene mixtures appears to confirm the original ideas. Also reported here are some preliminary results obtained with synchrotron radiation in the vacuum ultraviolet (15–150 eV).
