| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to clarify the quantum mechanical effect in radical pair mechanism, which is considered to be the cause of magnetic compass of migratory birds, we built a new setup for measurement of magnetic field effects (MFEs) with high sensitivity and stability that allows the precise analysis of the magnetic field effect on reaction yield (MARY) spectrum in time resolved manner. In the flavin system, we succeeded in measuring the magnetic field effect with very high stability, and discovered the time evolution of the MARY spectral shape. We calculated these phenomena based on quantum mechanics and could explain the time evolution of the spectra by an effect of the spin dephasing. The spin dephasing is one of the most important phenomena in the discussion of the magnetoreception of the very small magnetic field. This result should have an impact on the discussion of the relationship of the spin dynamic and the molecular magnetoreceptions.
