Abstract

We propose a percolation model for an exciton insulator-to-conductor transition. Experimentally, we investigate (at 2°K) the first singlet exciton in a binary organic alloy of naphthalene-perdeuteronaphthalene. A third component, 10-3-mole-fraction betamethyl-naphthalene, serves as exciton-flow monitor, and the integrated relative fluorescence is derived. The B2u1 Frenkel-exciton data are bound by the theoretical site-percolation curves for square and simple-cubic lattices.
