The hydrostatic pressure-induced shift of the zero-phonon line of single pentacene molecules in a pterphenyl host crystal was studied at cryogenic temperatures. Five molecules in the inhomogeneously broadened &t-S, absorption band of the O1 site (592.32 nm) were selected. In the low-pressure regime

✦ Synopsis
The fluorescence lifetime of single pentacene molecules in the 0, site of pterphenyl at a temperature of 1.8 K has been measured. Individual molecules were repetitively excited by monochromatic Fourier transform limited light pulses with a duration of 9 ns. The time-correlated single-photon counting technique was employed to generate a histogram of the time distribution of the fluorescence photons emitted by single molecules.

We investigated pentacenedoped pterphenyl crystals with different degrees of disorder as evidenced by the inhomogeneous broadening of the O,-site distribution. Single pentacene molecules were detected in the wings of 0, by fluorescence excitation spectroscopy. The ISC rates for a number of single mo
We report the observation of the broadening of a magnetic-resonance transition between triplet sublevels of a single pentacene molecule owing to the interaction of the triplet electron spin with a single 13C nuclear spin. Analysis of this broadening allows the assignment of particular features in th
Terrylene in p-terphenyl represents a promising novel single crystalline system for optical spectroscopy of single impurity molecules at low temperatures. The optical spectra of terrylene in p-terphenyl show four origins in absorption and emission, indicating four crystalline sites. In one of the si
