Theoretical study of triplet state properties of free-base porphin

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented results and analysis of various properties of the triplet state of free-base porphin (FBP) as calculated by density-functional theory and obtained the radiative lifetime of phosphorescence lines and microwave signals in optical detection of magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectra.

Electron spin resonance in zero magnetic field of the reaction center triplet of photosynthetic bacteria

TL;DR: The present results explain the decrease in fluorescence intensity observed on microwave saturation in zero-field optical detection magnetic resonance experiments, and they also show that the simple exciton model is inadequate to derive the geometry of the reaction center dimer from the observed zerofield and decay rates.

Spin polarization in the lowest triplet state of chlorophyll

TL;DR: The spin-lattice relaxation time is found to be anisotropic and shorter than the decay rates of individual spin levels for chlorophyll-b in glassy solution.

The lowest triplet state of Zn porphin

TL;DR: In this article, three pairs of microwave transitions with widths of a few MHz are found, all of them corresponding to a decrease in phosphorescence intensity, corresponding to the Shpolskii effect, and it was further established that by pumping either of these transitions a third one can be detected at the difference frequency, so that the order of the levels must be X>Y>Z (or reverse)

Optical and Zeeman studies of the first excited singlet state of zinc porphin in a single crystal of n-octane: Evidence for Jahn-Teller instability

Optically Detected Adiabatic Inversion in Phosphorescent Triplet States and the Measurement of Intramolecular Energy Transfer Processes

TL;DR: The theory and observation of microwave induced population inversion within triplet magnetic sublevels in zero field is presented in this paper, where inversion via adiabatic fast passage can be measured quantitatively by changes in triplet phosphorescence and can be accomplished easily and with microwave field strengths even lower than are required for cw saturation.
