description

General inequalities for the relaxation constants of polarization moments are examined. Concrete numerical limitations for the values of these constants are obtained. In recent years it has been generally accepted to characterize the distribution of the angular momentum j of atomic as well as molecular states in the framework of the irreducible tensorial operators PG. The state is described by means of polarization moments p& which are the expansion coefficients of the angular momentum density matrix pm,,,, on the tensorial operators pz:
