Abstract Two methods are described to derive cross sections for spin exchange and spin depolarization of an indirectly pumped alkali vapor with zero nuclear spin. Either pulsed or sinusoidally modulated radiofrequency can be used to destroy the polarization of the indirectly pumped (secondary) system, while the intensity of the transmitted pumping light is observed. Cross sections follow from the indirectly produced depolarization of the primary system i. e. from the change in pumping light transmission or from the phase angle between the rf modulation and the intensity oscillations of the transmitted light. The quality of the two methods is tested by deriving cross sections for spin exchange between Cs and Rb and for depolarization of Rb in Argon buffer gas.

Cross sections have been measured for the disorientation of the 3 1D, 4 1D, and 5 1D states of 3He in collisions with the ground state atoms. Oriented n1D state atoms are produced by exciting in a discharge 3He atoms whose nuclei have been oriented by optical pumping. The role of hyperfine coupling is investigated and the theoretical treatment of the effect of collisions on the orientation of the excited atom, which does not require instantaneous recoupling of the nuclear spin I and the electronic angular momentum J after each collision, is presented.

This chapter is devoted to one of key phenomena in the field of spin physics, namely, resonant absorption of electromagnetic waves under conditions where the Zeeman splitting of spin levels in magnetic field is equal to photon energy. This method is particularly important for identification of nuclear spin effects, because resonance spectra provide fingerprints of different involved spin species and make it possible to distinguish different nuclear isotopes. As discussed in this chapter the nuclear magnetic resonance provides also an access to local magnetic fields acting on nuclear spins. These fields are caused by the magnetic interactions between the nuclei and by the quadrupole splittings of nuclear spin states in anisotropic crystalline environment. Manifestations of spin resonance in optical responses of semiconductors–that is, optically detected magnetic resonance–are discussed.

This chapter provides a broad overview of the spectroscopic principles required in order to perform quantitative spectroscopy of atmospheres. It couples the details of atmospheric spectroscopy with the radiative transfer processes and also with the assessment of rotational, vibrational, and electronic spectroscopic measurements of atmospheres. The principles apply from line-resolved measurements (chiefly microwave through infrared) through ultraviolet and visible measurements employing absorption cross sections developed from individual transitions. The chapter introduces Einstein coefficients before in turn discussing rotational spectroscopy, vibrational spectroscopy, nuclear spin, and electronic spectroscopy.

Chemiluminescence cross sections for reaction of the individual spin–orbit states of metastable Ca(PJ03) with CH3I, CH2I2, and SF6 have been determined by the use of optical pumping state selection. This technique was also used to separate the chemiluminescence arising from the two excited metastable Ca 3P0 and 1D states. The spin–orbit dependence of the chemiluminescence pathway was found to be substantial for the CH3I and CH2I2 reactions and similar to that previously observed for halogen diatom and alkyl bromide reagents. By contrast, no spin–orbit effect was observed for Ca(3P0)+SF6. These results are discussed in terms of our previously presented model for the origin of spin–orbit effects in chemical reactions.
