AbstractWe have measured the fluorescence quantum efficiency in Ti3+:sapphire single crystals between 150 K and 550 K. Using literature-given effective fluorescence lifetime temperature dependence, we show that the zero temperature radiative lifetime is (4.44 ± 0.04) μs, compared to the 3.85 μs of the fluorescence lifetime. Fluorescence lifetime thermal shortening resolves into two parallel effects: radiative lifetime shortening, and non-radiative transition rate enhancement. The first is due to thermally enhanced occupation of a ΔE = 1,700 cm−1 higher (top) electronic state of the upper multiplet, exhibiting a transition oscillator strength of f = 0.62, compared to only 0.013 of the bottom electronic state of the same multiplet. The non-radiative rate relates to multi-phonon decay transitions stimulated by the thermal phonon occupation. Thermal enhancement of the configuration potential anharmonicity is also observed. An empiric expression for the figure-of-anharmonicity temperature dependence is given as $$\hat{{\bf{H}}}$$Hˆ (T) = $$\hat{{\bf{H}}}$$Hˆ (0)(1 + β exp(−ℏωco /kBT )), where $$\hat{{\bf{H}}}$$Hˆ (0) = 0.276, β = 5.2, ℏωco = 908 cm−1, and kB is the Boltzmann constant.

A model, based on the intraband scattering of excitons in one-dimensional J-aggregates is proposed to describe the lengthening of the experimentally observed radiative lifetime with temperature. According to this mechanism, the exciton-phonon scattering transfers the oscillator strength fromt he lowest k≅0 optically allowed state to the other states within the excitonic band. A Pauli master equation, in which the hopping rates are calculated, is used to describe the thermalization of the excitonic band. Assuming a fast relaxation mechanism, the temperature dependence of the exciton radiative lifetime is simulated for various chain lengths.
