The dynamics of charges and bound pairs of charge carriers (excitons) determines the performance of organic optoelectronic devices, such as light emitting diodes or solar cells. Precise nanoscale characterization of light emission at the nanosecond timescale can help to improve the efficiency of such devices. Here, by using low-temperature Scanning Tunneling Microscopy-induced Luminescence (STML) we probe the charge dynamics on defect-related light emission centers in C60 thin films. We apply 100 ns long square voltage pulses [1] to the tunnel junction and record transients of the emitted light with sub-nanosecond resolution as a function of injection current and lateral distance from the emission center. Analysis of luminescence transients discloses time constants ranging from 5 ns to 50 ns depending on the position in space. They can be attributed to hole and electron injection rates to the defect state. Our approach allows mapping the transients on a grid and therefore obtaining light intensity videos with sub-nanosecond time resolution at the ultimate molecular scale.
