Luminescence and triplet energy transfer in mixed crystals. I. Two-component systems

Abstract

Quantitative results are given for the temperature dependence of the intensities and decays of phosphorescence and delayed fluorescence in a number of two-component organic mixed crystals. These results are interpreted in terms of a kinetic model. For low guest concentrations, the guest phosphorescence decay is found to be first order and strongly temperature dependent with an activation energy different from that involved in energy transfer to the host triplet exciton level.
