Dynamical properties of Mobil Composition of Matter (MCM)-48 were studied by time-resolved photoluminescence (PL). The PL intensity exhibits a clear nonexponential profile, which can be fitted by a stretched exponential function. In the temperature range from 50to300K, the PL decay lifetime becomes thermally activated by a characteristic energy of 25meV, which is suggested to be an indication of the phonon-assisted nonradiative process. A model is proposed to explain the relaxation behavior of the PL in MCM-48.
