The exciton, an excited electron–hole pair bound by Coulomb attraction, plays a key role in
photophysics of organic molecules and drives practically important phenomena such as …

Organic (opto) electronic materials have received considerable attention due to their
applications in thin-film-transistors, light-emitting diodes, solar cells, sensors, photorefractive …

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 …

Singlet exciton fission is a carrier multiplication process in organic semiconductors that
generates two electron–hole pairs for each photon absorbed. Singlet fission occurs on sub …

Open-shell molecules such as radicals, carbenes, and electronically excited-state molecules
exhibit high energies, and thus, in general, they are quite reactive. 1 The short-lived species …

The functional properties of organic semiconductors are defined by the interplay between
optically bright and dark states. Organic devices require rapid conversion between these …

Singlet fission is the spin-allowed conversion of a spin-singlet exciton into a pair of spin-
triplet excitons residing on neighbouring molecules. To rationalize this phenomenon, a …

van der Waals heterojunctions between two-dimensional (2D) layered materials and
nanomaterials of different dimensions present unique opportunities for gate-tunable …

Substitution of a C= C bond by an isoelectronic B–N bond is a well-established strategy to
alter the electronic structure and stability of acenes. BN-substituted acenes that possess …

Entanglement of states is one of the most surprising and counter-intuitive consequences of
quantum mechanics, with potent applications in cryptography and computing. In organic …
