摘要
Nonlinear absorption spectra of single alpha-perylene nanocrystals of 150-300 nm in size were measured at low temperature by multichannel phase-sensitive pump-probe microspectroscopy. For nanocrystals, free exciton (FE) absorption blueshifts while self-trapped exciton (STE) emission redshifts and FE emission is intense, compared with bulk crystals. The mechanism of the redshift is suggested to be lattice softening from a redshift in space-resolved STE emission at the edge of bulk crystals. The FE absorption band of several single nanocrystals shows a double-peak structure, suggesting that the blueshift is due to B-u excitons, which are much stronger in oscillator strength than Au excitons, yet difficult to observe in bulk crystals.
