Abstract
The time-resolved spectroscopy in polydiacetylene single crystals (PDA-MADF {poly-1-[3-(methylamino)phenyl]-4-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,3- butadiyne}) on femtosecond and picosecond time scales was performed. The time dependence of the photoinduced reflectance change in PDA-MADF exhibits three components with lifetimes ∼200 fs, 1 - 2 ps, and ≫200 ps. These components are assigned to the free 1Bu excitons, self-trapped excitons, and triplet excitons. From the excitation intensity dependence of the reflectance change, a significant role of bimolecular interactions between singlet excitons for the formation of triplet excitons is clarified. A model of the mechanism of triplet exciton formation after the creation of singlet excitons is proposed.
