Spin memory in the 2A¯-->E¯ relaxation in ruby
Abstract
The spin memory during the 2A¯-->E¯ relaxation in ruby was measured by selectively exciting the 2A¯(+/-(1/2)) levels and observing the luminescence from the E¯(+/-(1/2)) levels. The results are compared to previous indirect measurements and to theoretical estimates.
