Cd(5 3P1)-Photosensitized luminescence of N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-l,3-propanediamine has been studied under the conditions of steady-state illumination and pulsed laser excitation. There are two emission bands for the sensitized luminescence, the quantum yields of which were determined as well as t h e overall quenching rate constant of Cd(5 3P1) by the steady-state experiment. The temporal profiles of the two emission bands and that of the resonance fluorescence were measured under pulsed excitation conditions. It is suggested that both the emitters of t h e two bands are formed directly from Cd(5 3P1) and there are collision-induced mixing processes between these two kinds of emitters. The energy and entropy differences between these emitters were estimated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
