Abstract

We report on crystalline pyramidal structures grown via self-organization on the rubrene (001) surface. The analysis of their spectral response by means of photoluminescence with micrometer lateral resolution reveals an intensity enhancement on-top of the surface structures. As we demonstrate this intensity increase can be related to the excitation processes at the molecular level in combination with exciton confinement within the pyramids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
