Influence of pseudoisocyanine J-aggregate agglomeration on the optical properties
Institute for Scintillation Materials, STC "Institute for Single Crystals", National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, 60 Nauky Ave., 61072 Kharkiv, Ukraine
In the present letter, we have report the changing optical properties of pseudoisocyanine J-aggregates formed in electrolyte aqueous solution under agglomeration. The more pronounced changes occur in the case of the luminescence characteristics, which reveal about 30% improvement. The main reason has been supposed to be avoiding of the exciton trapping by local defects due to the inter-aggregate excitonic excitations energy transfer within the agglomerate.
