Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, such as dibenzoterrylene (DBT), offer promising properties as emitters in a single-photon source. One prerequisite is their embedding in a crystalline matrix and a cryogenic environment. When fulfilled, high photostability and quantum yield, as well as a short excited state lifetime with a lifetime-limited spectral emission mainly in the zero-phonon-line are observed.
We report on two strategies concerning the fabrication of a stable, crystalline matrix surrounding a single DBT molecule.
One approach is based on a reprecipitation method that ideally leads to the production of anthracene nanocrystals with a size of less than 450 nm, containing single DBT.
The second approach deals with the deposition of C60-fullerenes using organic molecular beam epitaxy, which can serve as a capsule for one dibenzoterrylene molecule and, on the other hand, act as a protective layer, when the molecules are placed between two C60 layers.
A detailed overview about the procedures will be given at the conference.
