Magnetic resonance of a single molecular spin
Article Abstract:
The fluorescence-detected magnetic-resonance (FDMR) signal of the triplet state of a single pentacene molecule embedded in a p-terphenyl host crystal is reported. The optically detected magnetic resonance transitions were observed through a combination of an existing optical detection method for observing such transitions and novel single-molecule optical detection techniques that have only been recently developed. The characteristics of the FDMR signal are analyzed.

On/off blinking and switching behaviour of single molecules of green fluorescent protein
Article Abstract:
Information about local environment dynamics in solids, liquids and biological systems can be provided by optical studies of individual molecules. A study of photophysical molecule behaviour of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the Aequorea victoria jellyfish is presented. Wild type GFP is an interesting fluorescent biological label as fluorophore can be formed in vivo. Such GFPs could be used as fluorescent markets for time-dependent cell processes.
