    Notes: Abstract Transient signals measured with a pulsed rf-optical pumping method are used to determine longitudinal relaxation rates for Sr+ ions (even isotopes) in noble gas buffers. Depolarization cross sections of the electronic spin in the Sr+52 S 1/2 ground state for binary collisions with rare gas atoms are deduced. The results for σ(Sr+52 S 1/2) in Å2 are (at temperatures between 374 and 449 °K): 2·10−5(He),4·10−5(Ne), 5.7·10−3(Ar), 1.8·10−2(Kr), and 4.0·10−2(Xe). These cross sections for the Sr+ ion are about two to three orders of magnitude larger than the corresponding ones for the isoelectronic neutral Rb atom. The large increase of the Sr+ relaxation rates is explained with the relaxation mechanism of spin-orbit coupling, taking into account two “indirect” effects of the ionic charge: the increase in the gas kinetic cross sections and the more intimate collisions of the Sr+ ion with the noble gas atoms. The depolarization is shown to be predominantly due to short-range interactions. A contribution to the relaxation of the Sr+ ion from Sr+-noble gas molecule formation, induced by three-body or resonant two-body collisions, could not be established for applied pressuresp between 1.5 and 15 Torr of Ar, Kr, and Xe.

    Notes: Abstract Optical pumping with the D2 resonance line can result in a zero2 S 1/2 ground state polarization at a particular buffer gas pressurep 0. For the even isotopes of Sr+ ions, the corresponding relaxation rate Γ1 of the dipolar polarization in the2 P 3/2 excited state can be calculated as a function of the mean lifetime τ of this state directly from the condition of zero2 S 1/2 ground state polarization. The calculation includes the branching decays of the 52 P 3/2 state to the 52 S 1/2 and 42 D 5/2,3/2 states, the collisional quenching from2 P and2 D states, and the diffusion of the Sr+ ions. From the calculated relaxation rate Γ1 and the measured value ofp 0, the cross sections for the destruction of the dipolar polarization in the2 P 3/2 state are obtained, σ1(Sr+52 P 3/2) in Å2: 72±9(He), 80±10(Ne), 124±15 (Ar), 148±18 (Kr), and 196±23 (Xe). The values of σ1 for the Sr+ ion are of comparable magnitude to those for the isoelectronic Rb atom.

    Notes: Abstract Polarized110Ag nuclei are produced in the silver halides by capture of polarized neutrons at temperatures below 30 K and magnetic field strengths up to 6 kOe. The depolarization process is studied by observation of the β decay asymmetry as a function of magnetic field, temperature and of the radio frequency field strength in NMR signals. The depolarization is caused by a field dependent deorientation process and by temperature dependent spin-lattice relaxation. The deorientation is due to a succession of coupling steps of the nuclear spin with electromagnetic fields of defects generated as a consequence of the capture process, and the field dependence of the polarization can be understood as a decoupling curve. The temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation is in accordance with the theory of quadrupolar relaxation above 18 K if an empirical phonon spectrum is used for the calculation. At lower temperatures the experimental relaxation rate is anomalously high, which may be due to resonance modes connected with recoil lattice defects.
