  2. This study aimed to investigate the effects of thermal annealing on a film of squaraine (SQ) molecules in a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) matrix. Molecular aggregation is inferred from in situ absorption measurements, and excited state dynamics are measured using a spatially encoded transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy. TA spectra were well-replicated using a kinetic model that evolves as a function of annealing time and extent of aggregation. While linear absorbance spectra indicate that the SQ molecules are primarily uncoupled or weakly-coupled when initially deposited in a PMMA matrix, the kinetic model shows that some pi-stacked aggregates are already present. Excitons are funnelled by energy transfer to these aggregates in just a few picoseconds. The amount of pi-stacked aggregates increases during thermal annealing, further increasing the population of excitons that end up in these aggregates.
