Abstract
Doublet states species trapped in crystalline solids show transient spin polarized EPR spectra if the crystal is illuminated by visible or UV light. The spin polarization is accounted for by the interaction of the doublet species with photoexcited triplet states. The mechanism of the process producing the spin polarization is examined and some experimental examples are discussed. The analysis of the time evolution of the transient variation of the EPR signal allows the measurements of the spin lattice relaxation time and in some cases of the diffusion rate of mobile triplet excitations in the crystal lattice.
