Low Temperature Energy Trapping and Emission Line Profile of Disordered Solids.

Abstract

In a disordered solid, where random excitation energy and donor-acceptor separation is expected, low temperature energy transfer between a high energy excited molecule to a lower energy acceptor might not be complete. As a result, the emission profile of the solid at low temperature is determined by the energy distribution of the emission of the trapping sites. Predictions based on these ideas are used and a fit is made to the 4.2K observed phosphorescent profile of 1-bromo, 4-chloronaphthalene, an orientationally disordered molecular solid. The theoretical fit to the observed emission profile is discussed in terms of the possible energy transfer mechanism(s) in this solid. (Author)
