The role of matrix material and CCl4 (electron acceptor) on the ionization mechanisms of matrix-isolated naphthaleneThe formation mechanisms and optical properties of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) isolated in argon and neon matrices were studied in a systematic manner in an attempt to provide spectroscopic data on PAH ions under conditions relevant to astrophysical applications. The results obtained indicate the strong influence of the matrix material on the competing radiative (fluorescence and phosphorescence) and nonradiative (internal conversion and intersystem crossing) relaxation processes of the trapped molecule.
