The photophysical properties of organic crystals are strongly dependent on the interactions between the comprising molecules.
We chose zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) in its crystallographic β-phase as a model system to investigate the excitonic coupling as a function of crystallographic direction. For this purpose, we performed polarization dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurements from 5 K to 300 K on needle-shaped single crystals grown by horizontal vapour deposition.
A gradual optical transition from a J- to H-aggregate like behavior occurs on cooling down to 100 K.
Upon further cooling, we find the emergence of superradiant luminescence typical for exciton delocalization in J-aggreagtes.
This optical transition is induced by an anisotropic thermal compression of the crystal lattice.
