摘要:
We have studied the temperature dependence of the dynamics of singlet excited states in pristine films of tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq(3)). Measurements of the transient photoluminescence (PL) response revealed an increase in the radiative excited state lifetime and fluorescence quantum yield with decreasing temperature from 300 to 77 K. Bimolecular singlet exciton annihilation measurements show a decrease in the singlet exciton diffusion coefficient and diffusion length at 77 K. A singlet exciton trapping model is used to explain these results. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
