Abstract
The excited state decay behaviour of p-terphenyl in cyclohexane solution and in a rigid poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film is reported as measured in a ps polarization dependent transient grating experiment. In both cases, the diffracted intensity shows a biexponential decay. The slower component is attributed to excited state lifetime. In the liquid solution, the faster decay component is described by the hydrodynamical Stokes–Einstein–Debye theory for rotational reorientation under slip boundary conditions. In the rigid matrix it is interpreted in terms of a free volume effect.
