Abstract
Perylene microcrystals are known to show characteristic change in the exciton fluorescence spectra depending on the crystal size less than about 200nm. However, the origin of the size-dependence is not yet clear. In this work, we have studied on individual microcrystals by a scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM). The samples were prepared by a modified technique based on reprecipitation method. As a result, we could successfully measure the topographic and fluorescence images of perylene microcrystals with the size of ~200nm by SNOM at room temperature. In the fluorescence spectra of the single microcrystals, free and self-trapped exciton bands were successfully observed but they did not show any critical difference from that of the bulk crystals. Some possibility of environmental difference is discussed.
