The emission lifetime of the carbocyanine BIC J-aggregate decreased with the increase of the temperature in the range 20-60 K. Several mechanisms are proposed to explain the nonradiative relaxation of the J-aggregate observed in glass.

โฆ Synopsis
We observed a blue-shift and narrowing of emission band of carbocyanine dye (BIC) J-aggregate in solution at high excitation intensity. This is explained by formation of a two-exciton state and efficient emission from the two-exciton to one-exciton state. The lifetime of the two-exciton state of BIC J-aggregate in solution is 30 ps at room temperature.

A red-shift and broadening of the emission of the BIC J-aggregate in glass were observed at low temperatures (4.5 K). To explain the observation a transformation of the excess excitation energy in the bath with disordering of the structure of molecular aggregate is proposed. The characteristic time
Time-resolved difference absorption spectra of J-aggregates were measured by femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. The induced absorption near the J-band at 20 K was assigned to the transitions from n-exciton states to ( n + 1 )-exciton states (n 2 1) . The decay time of the n( > 2)-exciton states is
