Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Singlet Excited States of Molecular Oxygen in the Quenching of Organic Triplet States
TL;DR: In this article, the quenching of triplet-state molecules by molecular oxygen is examined theoretically and the relative importance of the two quenchings processes is determined almost entirely by Franck-Condon factors, rather than by electronic factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of Energy‐Transfer Mechanisms in Pyrene Crystals
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the fluorescence emission spectra, intensity, and decay characteristics and the excitation spectra of pure pyrene crystals and of perylene-doped pyrene crystal at temperatures down to 1.7°K.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single‐Center Calculations on the Electronically Excited States of Equilateral H3+ Ion
Kenji Kawaoka,Raymond F. Borkman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical investigation of the excited electronic states of the equilateral triangular H3+ ion was performed using the single center expansion configuration interaction method, and the potential energy curve in D3h symmetry was obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electric, Magnetic, and Spectral Properties of H3+ Ground State Calculated from Single‐Center Wavefunctions
Kenji Kawaoka,Raymond F. Borkman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, single-center wavefunctions, employing up to 100 configuration-interaction terms, were used to compute electric, magnetic, and spectral properties of the 1A1′ electronic ground state of equilateral triangular H3+.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excited‐State Perylene—Pyrene Interactions: Relation to the Interpretation of Excimer Emission
Kenji Kawaoka,David R. Kearns +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the unusual character of the mixed-crystal emission spectra is primarily due to reabsorption of ''normal'' monomeric perylene emission, rather than to a very large excited-state perylene-pyrene interaction as previously suggested.
