Exdton band structure

Emission spectra at these points are shown in Figure 8.2d. The band shapes were independent of the excitation intensity from 0.1 to 2.0 nJ pulse . The spectrum of the anthracene crystal with vibronic structures is ascribed to the fluorescence originating from the free exdton in the crystalline phase [1, 2], while the broad emission spectra of the pyrene microcrystal centered at 470 nm and that of the perylene microcrystal centered at 605 nm are, respectively, ascribed to the self-trapped exciton in the crystalline phase of pyrene and that of the a-type perylene crystal. These spectra clearly show that the femtosecond NIR pulse can produce excited singlet states in these microcrystals.
