Solar energy is an ample renewable energy resource, with photovoltaic (PV) technology
enabling a direct route from light to electricity. Currently, PVs are limited in photon …

This account aims at providing an understanding of singlet fission, ie, the photophysical
process of a singlet state (S1) splitting into two triplet states (2× T1) in molecular …

Understanding the photophysics and photochemistry of molecular π-stacked chromophores
is important for utilizing them as functional photonic materials. However, these investigations …

Silicon dominates contemporary solar cell technologies. But when absorbing photons,
silicon (like other semiconductors) wastes energy in excess of its bandgap. Reducing these …

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 …

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 …

Over the last few decades, conical intersections (CoIns) have grown from theoretical
curiosities into common mechanistic features of photochemical reactions, whose function is …

Coherence refers to correlations in waves. Because matter has a wave-particle nature, it is
unsurprising that coherence has deep connections with the most contemporary issues in …

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 …

The singlet fission (SF) process is generally defined as the conversion of one singlet exciton
(S1) into two triplet excitons (2· T1), which has the potential to overcome thermalization …
