H. Matsuoka et al., Transition moment spectroscopy-based simulation of 2D electron spin transient nutation spectra for high spin chemistry, SYNTH METAL, 121(1-3), 2001, pp. 1822-1823
A mixture of molecular high-spin species is frequently observed in a variet
y of model systems for molecule-based magnetics. Two-Dimensional Electron S
pin Transient Nutation (2D-ESTN) spectroscopy based on pulsed ESR is useful
to discriminate between high-spin species in spin mixtures and identify un
equivocally the spin quantum number of them. In this work, we have performe
d the spectral simulation of the 2D ESTN spectrum including forbidden trans
itions for EU2+ ion (S=7/2, I=5/2) in a CaF2 single crystal, which has two
isotopes ((EU)-E-151 (47.9%) and Eu-153 (52.1%)), based on the transition m
oment analysis including nuclear spin transitions. The simulated spectrum i
s reasonably consistent with the experimental one, indicating that the tran
sition moment spectroscopy-based simulation is a powerful tool for the uneq
uivocal identification of the 2D-ESTN spectra from a mixture of electronic
and nuclear high-spin systems.
