Abstract:
The temperature dependence of the homogeneous linewidth (Γhom) of S1 ← S0 0-0 transitions of organic amorphous systems undergoing either photochemical or non-photochemical hole-burning from 4.2 down to 0.3 K is presented. In all cases Γhom follows a T1.3 dependence, and extrapolates to or actually reaches the lifetime-limited value of the guest. An estimate of the relative guest-host coupling strengths is made.
