When luminescence shows exponential decay, the total luminescence intensity is given by τI(0), where τ is the decay time constant and I(0) is the luminescence intensity at t=0. The ratio of the time-integrated luminescence of the (Formula presented) exciton to that of the excitonic molecule should be about 190:13, because (Formula presented), (Formula presented), (Formula presented) (0), and (Formula presented) (0) are 380 ps, 65 ps, 500, and 200, respectively, in Fig. 4. In the luminescence spectrum of Fig. 1, however, the ratio of the intensity is about 3.4:1. This discrepancy is too large.
