Steadyhyphen;State Unimolecular Processes in Multilevel Systems

摘要

The problem of reaction efficiencies in steadyhyphen;state multilevel systems is analyzed using a matrix formulation. Several special cases are treated with particular attention to the existence of a lowhyphen;pressure anomaly. The results apply equally well to the calculation of unimolecular reaction efficiencies, fluorescence yields and the analogous quantities in any process involving competitive pressurehyphen;dependent transitions between two subsets of states.
