Theoretical modeling of singlet fission

D Casanova - Chemical reviews, 2018 - ACS Publications
Singlet fission is a photophysical reaction in which a singlet excited electronic state splits
into two spin-triplet states. Singlet fission was discovered more than 50 years ago, but the …

Sensitization of silicon by singlet exciton fission in tetracene

M Einzinger, T Wu, JF Kompalla, HL Smith… - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
Silicon dominates contemporary solar cell technologies. But when absorbing photons,
silicon (like other semiconductors) wastes energy in excess of its bandgap. Reducing these …

Unconventional singlet fission materials

T Ullrich, D Munz, DM Guldi - Chemical Society Reviews, 2021 - pubs.rsc.org
Singlet fission (SF) is a photophysical downconversion pathway, in which a singlet excitation
transforms into two triplet excited states. As such, it constitutes an exciton multiplication …

Hybrid molecule–nanocrystal photon upconversion across the visible and near-infrared

Z Huang, X Li, M Mahboub, KM Hanson, VM Nichols… - Nano …, 2015 - ACS Publications
The ability to upconvert two low energy photons into one high energy photon has potential
applications in solar energy, biological imaging, and data storage. In this Letter, CdSe and …
