description

Four-time stimulated echo experiments have been used to monitor the temporal evolution of the reorientation rates of deuterated molecules or colloidal suspensions. We present extended phase cycles for this seven-pulse experiment. In order to test its performance three vastly different materials are chosen. These include a crystal in which the molecules carry out well-defined 180 degrees flips and a supercooled liquid characterized by a distribution of jump angles centered around 10 degrees. As an example for rotational diffusion, data on a concentrated suspension of polystyrene spheres in a viscous medium are presented. Copyright 1998 Academic Press.
