AbstractExperiments carried out in recent years using single-molecule spectroscopy to study the low-temperature dynamics of some molecular solid-state media with a disordered internal structure made it possible to obtain new information on the dynamics of such media at the local level. In some substances, the time-dependent behavior of the majority of individual spectra of single fluorescent molecules introduced into the studied medium as a local spectral probe corresponded to the predictions of the standard model of tunneling two-level systems. In others, the behavior of most of the spectra of single molecules was more complicated, which it is difficult to describe in the framework of the standard model. This paper is devoted to the analysis of the results of studies of low-temperature spectral dynamics of single fluorescent molecules in a number of disordered molecular systems (amorphous polyisobutylene, toluene, cumene, propylene carbonate). The observed deviations from the predictions of the theory are associated with the microstructure of the systems under study and the sample shape. Possible reasons for the deviations of the observed local spectral dynamics from the predictions of the standard model of tunneling two-level systems are discussed. Inadequately.

ABSTRACTThe ordered intermetallic Ll2 alloy Zr3Al was irradiated with 2 MeV protons at -124 °C to fluences up to 2 × 1015 H+/mm2 and at 250 °C to fluences up to 1 × 1015 H+/mm2. Defects with spherically symmetric strain fields were produced at both irradiation temperatures. They are of interstitial character at -124 °C and vacancy character at 250 °C. Disordering is induced at -124 °C, whereas irradiating at 250 °C initially lowers, then slightly raises, the degree of long-range order above its unirradiated value. Additional defects that appear as black spots were imaged using superlattice reflections in dark field. For the low-temperature irradiations they were seen at all doses, but were present at only the lowest close for the high-temperature irradiations. They are probably disordered zones, although some of the zones may be amorphous at the higher doses in the low-temperature irradiations.
