Abstract

The optical properties of perylene microcrystals in wide range of crystal size from 50 nm to 1 μm were measured. The interesting behavior of exciton in microcrystals with less than 200nm was found. For example, with decreasing the crystal size, self-trapped exciton states in microcrystals shifted to the high energy side. Therefore, the strong luminescence from free-exciton was observed, and life time of self-trapped exciton became shorter.
