Abstract :
Pentacene microcrystalline thin films have been investigated by pump-probe spectroscopy in the femtosecond regime. The competition between induced absorption in the singlet S1 → Sn and triplet T1 → Tn excited electronic configurations and bleaching of the S0 → S1 transition has been observed. A theoretical description is proposed to explain the experimental results. The importance of the different contributions associated with the various competing processes are stressed. A very fast triplet exciton creation with rate constant 1.3 × 1013 s−1 is attributed to a fission process from one S1 exciton to a pair of lowest triplet T1 excitons.
