โฆ Synopsis
We present results on Hahn echo experiments with a single molecular triplet electron spin. The surprising possibility of observing an echo phenomenon with an individual electron spin arises as a result of a spectral diffusion process of the magnetic resonance transition frequency in the course of the optical excitation cycle and illustrates the equivalence of time and ensemble average. The spin dephasing times as measured by the decay times of the Hahn echo for different molecules varies between 2 and 7 O,s. By using standard theories of nuclear spin diffusion these differences may be attributed to variations in the local environment close to the chromophore which can be estimated quantitatively.

Electron spin echo spectroscopy has enabled us to identify the non-radiative triplet state of all-trans-dodecapentaenal in stretched polyethylene films. We have obtained transient electron paramagnetic resonance spectra and determined the zero-field splitting parameters: X/h = -933 f 20 MHz. Y/h = -
Electron spin echo detected EPR spectra have been obtained of the triplet state of a single crystal of the reaction center of Rhodobacter sphaeroides R26. The crystal is found to be monoclinic and to contain four magnetically inequivalent sites. The magnetic relaxation behaviour of this triplet has
