摘要
Linewidth distributions for single terrylene molecules in polyethylene have been measured in the temperature range from 30 mK to 1.83 K. The temperature dependence of the average linewidth is best described by a linear relationship over the full temperature range. At 30 mK, the linewidth distribution has a full-width at half-maximum of similar to 18.6 MHz and an average linewidth of 42.8(6) MHz. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
