Abstract: | By simultaneously measuring the excitation spectra of transient luminescence and transient photoconductivity after picosecond pulsed excitation in rubrene single crystals, we show that free excitons are photoexcited starting at photon energies above 2.0 eV. We observe a competition between photoexcitation of free excitons and photoexcitation into vibronic states that subsequently decays into free carriers, while molecular excitons are instead formed predominantly through the free exciton. At photon energies below 2.25 eV, free charge carriers are created only through a long-lived intermediate state with a lifetime of up to 0.1 ms and no free carriers appear during the exciton lifetime. |
