[Study of spectral properties of J-aggregates of mixed cyanine dyes].

The J-aggregates and the photosensitive properties of two kinds of mixed cyanine dye and the corresponding independent cyanine dyes absorbed on AgBr cubic microcrystal were investigated. The reflection spectra of the J-aggregates of the mixed cyanine dyes and the corresponding independent cyanine dyes were measured by the use of UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results showed that the absorption band of the mixed J-aggregates absorbed on AgBr cubic microcrystal had two-peak wavelengths and accorded with the independent cyanine dyes, respectively. The sensitive performance of the mixed cyanine dyes was much enhanced compared to the corresponding cyanine dyes.
