In this project in the Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Bryan E. Kohler of the University of California at Riverside will engage in a study of electric fields in organic solids using the technique of hole burning spectroscopy. Previous successes for measuring and interpreting the effects of external electric fields on transition energies are the bases for the proposed research to map out the internal electric fields at a molecular site in a molecular system. Specifically, the effets of electric fields on linear polyene excitation energy, and the effect of external pressure on the effect of electric field on linear polyene excitation energy, will be determined for a number of different guest-host systems where the geometry can be calculated by standard molecular dynamics techniques. More complex systems will become available for investigation with the refinement of the interpretative model through a combination of measurement and theoretical simulation. Most theoretical models used for the determination of internal electric fields assume the point dipole approximation, which is found to be only qualitatively successful. The proposed investigations are designed to experimentally measure the fields using polyene doped alkane crystals. Much of our understanding of electronic structure of organic solid solutions is derived from optical spectroscopy. The amount of unambiguous information that can be extracted from a given optical spectrum is increased if the ensemble under investigation is made more homogeneous. This may be done by one of several methods of high resolution site selective spectroscopy, e.g., hole burning spectroscopy. With this technique resolution enhancements by a factor of up to one hundred thousand have been achieved. This in turn has allowed the investigations of relaxation processes such as, for example, optical dephasing, and spectral diffusion; energy transfer in organic solids; the characterization of photophysical processes in biological systems; applications of organic polymers to optical data storage and holography; and others. The research to be conducted in this project will contribute to a better understanding of optical processes in diverse solid organic systems and may lead to improved materials used in optical and electronic devices.

在化学部的物理化学计划中，加利福尼亚大学里弗赛德大学的Bryan E. Kohler教授将使用孔燃烧光谱技术研究有机固体中的电场。 先前的测量和解释外部电场对过渡能的影响的成功是拟议研究的基础，以绘制分子系统中分子位点的内部电场。 具体而言，将针对许多不同的来宾宿主系统确定电场对线性多元电场对线性多烯激发能的影响的影响，以及外部压力对电场对线性多烯激发能的影响，这些系统可以通过标准分子动力学技术来计算几何形状。 通过测量和理论模拟的结合，将通过改进解释性模型来进行调查。 用于确定内部电场的大多数理论模型都假定点偶极子近似，这仅在定性上是成功的。 拟议的研究旨在使用多烯掺杂的烷烃晶体在实验中测量场。 我们对有机固体溶液的电子结构的大部分理解是从光谱中得出的。 如果使所研究的合奏变得更加均匀，则可以从给定的光谱中提取的明确信息的量增加。 这可以通过高分辨率位点选择性光谱法（例如孔燃烧光谱法）的几种方法之一来完成。 通过这种技术的提升，已实现了多达十万个因素。 反过来，这允许研究松弛过程，例如光学脱位和光谱扩散。 有机固体中的能量转移； 生物系统中光物理过程的表征； 有机聚合物在光学数据存储和全息图中的应用； 还有其他。 该项目将进行的研究将有助于更好地理解各种固体有机系统中的光学过程，并可能导致改进的光学和电子设备中使用的材料。
