X Abstract

Ultrathin films of PTCDA and MePTCDI (submono/multilayers with thickness d = 0.01-10 ML), UHV-deposited on He-cooled quartz substrate, are studied in situ by cw and ps time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The absorption spectrum, measured via photoexcitation, shows a monomer-like shape independent of film thickness, indicating an amorphous structure. The monotonic red-shift with increasing d reflects enhancement of isotropic intermolecular interaction. The fluorescence of ultrathin films consists of a single, monomeric component (M) exhibiting mirror symmetry to the absorption. With increasing film thickness a lower energy excimer-like component (E) emerges, gaining intensity at the expense of M due to energy transfer to E traps. The two components can be separated by time-resolved spectroscopy. Individual molecular behaviour can be studied in the limit of ultrathin films (< 0.03 ML), when E completely vanishes. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
