Abstract

We have investigated molecular confinement in materials with nanometer sized pores, fabricated from amorphous superlattices of a-Si:H/a-SiOx:H, using 1,10-bis(1-pyrenyl)decane as a fluorescent probe. In large (46 Å) pores, the emission and excitation spectra and their time dependence are similar to microcrystalline material, showing the presence of molecules aggregated in the ground state. This dimer emission decreases sharply as the pore size is decreased, showing that the minimum size for aggregate formation is about 20 Å.
