摘要
Steady-state and time-resolved emission techniques were employed to study the nonradiative process, of Thioflavin-T (ThT) in 1-propanol as a function of temperature. We found that the nonradiative rate, k(nr), decreased by about 3 orders of magnitude when the temperature was lowered to 88 K. We found remarkably good correspondence between the temperature dependence of k(nr) of ThT and the dielectric relaxation times of the 1-propanol solvent.
