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

✦ Synopsis
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 (App6 600 hPa), all molecules showed a linear and reversible frequency shift to the red, varied from -0.74 to -1.0 MHz/hPa.

The hydrostatic-pressure shift of the zero-phonon lines of single terrylene molecules in a p-terphenyl host crystal was measured at 1.6 K. We found four inhomogeneous absorption bands of the terrylene molecules in p-terphenyl with inhomogeneous widths between 15 and 33 GHz, corresponding to four cry
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
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
