Abstract
The time-resolved fluorescence of tetracene crystals excited by a single 7-ps pulse of 530-nm light has been measured with a streak camera/OMA system. The singlet exciton lifetime was found to be 300�30 ps at 293 K. Singlet-singlet exciton annihilation was observed, and the rate constant found to be 5 x 10-9 cm3 s-1. In order to fit the observed decay curves, an upper limit of c. 1 x 10-9 cm3 s-1 must be set on the singlet-triplet exciton annihilation rate. The measured singlet-singlet exciton annihilation rate is consistent with a hopping model for singlet exciton motion at room temperature.
