摘要
A technique is presented to determine the spin statistics of excitons formed by electrical injection in a semiconducting organic thin film. With the aid of selective addition of luminescent dyes, we generate either fluorescence or phosphorescence from the archetype organic host material aluminum tris (8-hydroxyquinoline) (Alq(3)). Spin statistics are calculated from the ratio of fluorescence to phosphorescence in the films under electrical excitation After accounting for varying photoluminescent efficiencies, we find a singlet fraction of excitons in Alq(3) of (22 +/- 3)%.
