✦ Synopsis

In order to study dye-matrix interactions in model systems, we have incorporated free-base phthalocyanine in solid rare-gas matrices of argon, krypton and xenon. Theoretical models based on statistical considerations link the size of the matrix constituents with the inhomogeneous broadening. Spectral hole-burning experiments were performed to determine the homogeneous linewidths, thereby gaining access to information about dynamical processes in the matrix with optical spectroscopy.
