Abstract

Transient nutation is observed in the time-resolved infrared-microwave double resonance of ammonia. This behavior is described by a Bloch equation for relaxation of the ammonia inversion levels, with an effective T2 cross section of 400 ± 50 A2. A similar effect was produced by rapidly switching the Stark field applied to the molecules, which suddenly brings them into resonance with the cw microwave radiation.
