Abstract

Abstract The temperature and frequency dependence of the electron spin-lattice relaxation rate Rj for the paramagnetic defects in pristine transpolyacetylene is analyzed in terms of a model in which the electron-electron dipolar interaction between spins is modulated by one-dimensional diffusion induced by phonon scattering of the spins. According to this model, at room temperatures R1 has a T1/2 temperature dependence; at low temperatures R1 has a T2 or T5/2 temperature dependence. R1 is described by a ω−1/2 frequency dependence. The model shows the symmetry between moving and stationary solitons scattered by phonons. The soliton wave function obtained from experimental ENDOR data is used to obtain analytical results. We discuss the possible temperature and frequency limitations of this model.
