Abstract: | Experimental investigations of annihilation-induced delayed fluorescence and phosphorescence of frozen ethylene glycol solutions activated by erythrosine were carried out. It is found that the kinetics of the annihilation-induced delayed fluorescence is nonexponential in the initial stage, and approaches an exponential decay at later stages with the lifetime equal to half the triplet-state lifetime. It is shown that experimental data agree well with the theory proposed to describe triplet-triplet annihilation by an inductive-resonant mechanism in solid solutions of complex organic molecules.
