A description is given of the modification made to the Millikan capacitor that renders it particularly suitable for precise photoemission measurements on individual particulates in controlled atmospheres. These measurements make it possible to use photoemission as a tool for the study of bimolecular processes.
We have measured the magnetic effects on the triplet exciton annihilation in naphthalene crystals at low and at high exciton densities. At high triplet densities the magnetic effects on delayed fluorescence intensity cannot be explained by the current theories on triplet exciton interactions in molecular solids. From the magnetic field anisotropy of the delayed fluorescence intensity at low triplet densities we conclude that in naphthalene the influence of spin-lattice relaxation on the kinematics of triplet exciton annihilation is not negligible. This implies that the exciton diffusion in this material is almost two dimensional, with the anisotropy of more than 1000 to 1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
