The role of C-H and C-C stretching modes in the intrinsic non-radiative decay of triplet states in a Pt-containing conjugated phenylene ethynylene

By frank | Published 25. April 2012

  Anna Köhler, Amena L. T. Khan, Joanne S. Wilson, Carsten Dosche, Mohammed K. Al-Suti et al. J. Chem. Phys. 136 (2012) 094905 [DOI][PDF] The intrinsic non-radiative decay (internal conversion) from the triplet excited state in phosphorescent dyes can be described by a multi-phonon emission process. Since non-radiative decay of triplet excitons can be a […]

Dimensionality-dependent energy transfer in polymer-intercalated SnS2 nanocomposites

By frank | Published 3. February 2007

  P Parkinson, E Aharon, MH Chang, C Dosche, G. Frey, A. Koehler, LM Herz Phys. Rev. B 75 (2007) 165206 [DOI][PDF] We have investigated the influence of dimensionality on the excitation-transfer dynamics in a conjugated polymer blend. Using time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy, we have measured the transfer transients for both a three-dimensional blend film and […]
