Abstract in another language
We have investigated the luminescence of NaNO2 crystals and its dependence on the excitation conditions. Using a broad band light source the luminescence lines resulting from transitions into intramolecular vibrational states ('vibronic lines') are asymmetric. Comparing these line shapes for different states involved we conclude that the asymmetry is caused by the dispersion of the excitons and by that of the vibrational state of the electronic ground state. Exciting the crystal with a narrow band laser we observed at low temperatures a strong dependence of the fluorescence line shapes on the excitation energy. For temperatures above 15 K the 'broad band-excitation line shape' was observed independent of the excitation energy. This behaviour leads to the conclusion that in the case of selective excitation the exciton band is not populated uniformly due to the conservation of quasi-momentum and that the decay of excitons is faster than the thermalization within the exciton band at T = 4 K. At temperatures above T 15 K the thermalization is possibly accelerated by multi-phonon scattering processes and becomes the faster component.
