The distribution of line widths of single probe molecules in a crystalline host at milliKelvin temperatures

The line width distributions for single terrylene molecules in a naphthalene crystal have been measured at temperatures down to 30 mK. The line width distribution becomes narrower with decreasing temperature, and has a full-width at half-maximum of approximately 4.3(13) MHz at 30 mK and an average l...

Summary:The line width distributions for single terrylene molecules in a naphthalene crystal have been measured at temperatures down to 30 mK. The line width distribution becomes narrower with decreasing temperature, and has a full-width at half-maximum of approximately 4.3(13) MHz at 30 mK and an average line width of 42.7(3) MHz.
