Resonant energy transfer in ruby between single ions and fourth-nearest-neighbour pairs
M. Montagna, G Nardon, Oreste Pilla +1 more
The resonant energy transfer in ruby between single ions and fourth-nearest-neighbour pairs was investigated at various temperatures and concentrations, with the application of an external magnetic field. The results give direct experimental evidence of the resonant mechanism, which dominates the transfer rate. Spin-memory effects are observed during pair relaxation after transfer. A simple model is presented which satisfactorily accounts for the observed dependence of the transfer on the field.
