Title in Portuguese
Medidas de tempos de relaxação spin-rede em cristais mistos de halogenetos alcalinos.
Keywords in Portuguese
Dicroismo circular
Magneto óptica
Relaxação
Abstract in Portuguese
Neste trabalho, utilizando técnicas magneto-ópticas, estudamos tempos de relaxação spin-rede (T1) do estado fundamental de centros 'F' e, cristais de halogenetos alcalinos (KCl-KBr). Descrevemos um sistema semi-automático para medidas ópticas de T1, capaz de medir tempos de relação curtos (~1mS), baseado na medida do Dicroísmo Circular magnético (DCM) que apresentam aqueles sais quando portadores de centros paramagnéticos. Obtivemos a dependência de T1 com o campo magnético H (até 65 Kgauss), bem como os espectros de DCM para diferentes concentrações nas matrizes mistas. Uma teoria desenvolvida por Panepucci e Mollenauer (1) para matrizes puras, foi adaptadas para explicar a relaxação spin-rede nos cristais mistos. Os resultados obtidos para o processo direto (T~2.0 K), confrontados com auqela teoria, mostram que o mecanismo de relaxação dominante até 25 KGauss continua sendo a modulação por fônons da interação hiperfins entre o elétron 'F' e os núcleos vizinhos.

Abstract in English
Using magneto-optic techniques we have studied the ground state spin- lattice relaxation times (T1) of 'F' centers in mixed Alkali Halide cristals (KCl-KBr). We describe a computer assisted system to optically measure short relaxation times (~1mS). The technique is based on the measurement of the Magnetic Circular Dicroism (MCD) presented by F centers. We obtained the T1 magnetic field dependency at 2 K up to 65 kGauss), as well as the MCD spectra for different relative concentration at the mixed matrices. The theory developed by Panepucci and Mollenauer for F centers spin-lattice relaxation in pure matrices was modified to explain the behavior of T1 in mixed cristais. The Direct Process results (T~2.0 K) compared against that theory shows that the main relaxation mecanism, Up to 25 kGauss, continues to be phonon modulation of the hyperfine interaction between 'F' electrons and surrounding nuclei.
