要旨

We have used low energy inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopy to examine the tunnelling spectroscopy of the ammonium ion in the (NH4)0.02RbxK0.98−xI system. The concentration of different species were varied as x increased, this was followed systematically and the first consistent assignment scheme for these features is given. Differences were also found for the relaxation rate of the spin temperature inversions that could be generated in these species. At a critical concentration—about x = 0.04 mole fraction—the relaxation rates of the species changed dramatically.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
