Abstract

Time-integrated and time-resolved luminescence spectra of pyrene and poly(phenylenevinylene) have been investigated and the direct and indirect self-trapping processes of hot free excitons are discussed. The existence of a self-trapping barrier between the free exciton state and the self-trapped state plays an essential role in exciton relaxation processes, in particular in the indirect relaxation process. Reported theories on branching of exciton relaxation paths are briefly compared to experimental data.
