摘要
We demonstrate the electric field (EF) induced polarization dynamics of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) by observing the fluorescence modulation of embedded non-polar single squaraine-derived rotaxane molecules. It is established that interaction between the molecular energy level and the potential valley formed by surrounding PMMA matrix can be detuned by the EF, which induces the changing of electron transfer rates between them effectively. The EF-induced response time of the fluorescence quenching or enhancement and the fluorescence recovery time reflect the diverse polarization and relaxation dynamics of PMMA.
