ON THE FEASIBILITY OF IDENTIFYING THE FORMATION MECHANISM OF SECONDARY CATIONS BY MEANS OF ELECTRIC-FIELD QUENCHING RECOMBINATION FLUORESCENCE

A procedure is proposed for experimental verification of the hypothesi s on the existence of a mechanism of fast formation of the secondary r adical cations in dilute organic solutions by electric-field quenching of recombination fluorescence. To test this procedure, time profiles of quenching under various conditions were simulated by the Monte Carl o method. It was shown that the time profile is strongly dependent on the mechanism of formation of the secondary cations and on the scaveng er concentration, but is low-sensitive to the form and parameters of t he initial distance distribution in pairs and to the track density.
