Abstract: | The spin polarization of excited triplet states caused by mutual annihilation of triplet states was detected by time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of triplet excitons in two molecular crystals, anthracene-tetracyanobenzene and phenazine-tetracyanoquinodimenthane. The time profile of the two EPR lines of the triplet exciton spectrum have been studied in the time range up to 200 μs after a laser pulse. Besides the initial polarization of the lines, due to intersystem crossing, a long-lasting polarization process is detected which is attributed to the triplet-triplet annihilation. The investigation of the dependence of the phenomenon on the intensity of the light pulse and on the orientation of the crystals in the magnetic field is presented. |
