Thermodynamic equilibrium between locally excited and charge-transfer states through thermally activated charge transfer in 1-(pyren-2′-yl)-o-carborane

Reversible conversion between excited-states plays an important role in many photophysical phenomena. Using 1-(pyren-2′-yl)-o-carborane as a model, we studied the photoinduced reversible charge-transfer (CT) process and the thermodynamic equilibrium between the locally-excited (LE) state and CT state, by combining steady state, time-resolved, and temperature-dependent fluorescence spectroscopy, fs- and ns-transient absorption, and DFT and LR-TDDFT calculations. Our results show that the energy gaps and energy barriers between the LE, CT, and a non-emissive ‘mixed’ state of 1-(pyren-2′-yl)-o-carborane are very small, and all three excited states are accessible at room temperature. The internal-conversion and reverse internal-conversion between LE and CT states are significantly faster than the radiative decay, and the two states have the same lifetimes and are in thermodynamic equilibrium.

Reversible conversion between excited-states is key to many photophysical phenomena. We studied the equilibrium between LE and CT states by time-resolved and temperature-dependent fluorescence, fs- and ns-transient absorption, and LR-TDDFT calculations.     

A comparison of the stochastic theory of the crystal growth and the Stefan problem

The stochastic theory of the crystal growth is compared with the solution of the Stefan problem in the case of Sn solidification. It is shown that the stochastic theory gives the same results as the solution of the Stefan problem if kinetic processes at the solidification front are very rapid.     

Study of the structural relaxation and crystallization in amorphous Fe80P20 alloy by mössbauer effect

The structural relaxation and crystallization of amorphous Fe₈₀P₂₀ alloys have been investigated by Mössbauer spectroscopy. The result indicates that the process of the crystallization of Fe₈₀P₂₀ makes slow progress and it was occur from outside into inside. The amorphous alloys may be classified into six different stages from amorphous to crystalline state during annealing.
