High quality rubrene crystals were grown by sublimation under streaming hydrogen. Polarized and angle-resolved fluorescence and absorption spectra were measured as a function of temperature. The fluorescence spectrum shows a strong reversible variation with temperature. The spectral changes are accompanied by a very strong (1000 fold) increase of the luminescence intensity at low T. At room temperature, the luminescence can be understood by the formation of H-aggregates of the transition dipoles due to efficient coupling in the (b,c)-crystal plane. This leads to emission from the zone boundary and hence causes a low luminescence yield and a large Stokes shift. At low temperatures, the luminescence spectrum is more reminiscent to that of a J-aggregate. This would imply that at low T, there exists a minimum of the exciton dispersion at the center of the Brillouin zone, which allows luminescent decay with high efficiency. We plan time-dependent PL measurements, which allow us assign temperature-dependent decay rates of the various PL bands, allowing estimates of the respective radiative lifetimes and the activation energies of non-radiative quenching mechanisms. Supported by DFG through the research unit 557.
