CONFINING AN ORGANIC MOLECULE IN A NANOCAVITY: EFFECT ON ROTATIONAL/VIBRATIONAL MOTION AND ITS CONSEQUENCE FOR SPIN DEPHASING.

Recently, it was found that the strongly temperature-dependent spin dephasing time of bound electrons in the organic molecule tris(8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum), or Alq3, increases when a few of these molecules are confined within 1-2 nm sized nanocavities in porous alumina. What causes this increase...
