โฆ Synopsis
The temperature dependences of (i) the relative yield of the Sa fluorescence and (ii) the fluorescence decay times measured in the Sr and Ss emission regions of pyrene vapour have been measured at very low pressures. The results demonstrate that the thermal equilibrium distribution of vibrational energy in the electronic ground state of the molecule is transferred to the excited electronic state by the excitation process. This phenomenon is ascribed to sequence congestion effects.

Fluorescence decay times measured in the S1 and Sz emission regions are reported for a number of aromatic hydrocarbons in the vapour phase at low pressures. In contrast to the theory which applies to the intermediate strong coupling case, the decay times of the S2 emission are significantly shorter
This study shows how collagen molecules are readily damaged by y-radiation at dosages commonly used for sterilizing biomedical products. At 1 Mrad, while the reported effectiveness of the radiation at such a low dosage to completely sterilize a material is questionable, less damage was caused to the
