Abstract

The excited-state geminate reaction A*+B⇄C *+D with two different lifetimes in the presence of the added contact quenching process was investigated. An exact solution for the Green function and survival probability was obtained in the Laplace domain. The analytic expressions in the time domain for the short-time behavior of the survival probability and its long-time asymptotics were obtained. The asymptotic behavior was found to be different from the equal-lifetime case.
