Temperature-Dependent Exciton Dynamics in J-Aggregates-When Disorder Plays a Role.
Absorption and fluorescence spectral properties of J-aggregates of core-tetrasubstituted perylene bisimide (PBI) dyes have been investigated in the temperature range from 300 to 5 K. A special feature of the present PBI J-aggregates is that, in contrast to classical J-aggregates like that of pseudoisocyanine (PIC), the chromophores are held together not only by van-der-Waals interactions but also
