Time resolved spectroscopy of anthracene and tetracene doped fluorene crystals

Time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy measurements were used to investigate energy transfer in anthracene and tetracene doped fluorene crystals. The results for energy transfer from the host to anthracene molecules are consistent with both the recently proposed generalized random walk model for energy transfer and the combined exciton diffusion—long range resonance theory. The results for impurity sensitized energy transfer between anthracene and tetracene molecules in fluorene are in agreement with the predictions of long range resonance interaction. Comparisons are made with results of similar investigations of other systems.
