Singlet and triplet excited-state energies are fundamental to a variety of processes and applications of organic semiconductors, such as singlet fission, triplet-triplet annihilation, and thermally activated delayed fluorescence. Measuring the triplet energy via traditional optical methods is often challenging though, due to spin selection rules governing these excited states following optical excitation. Here we examine cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy in an electron microscope as a candidate to circu

Through a remarkable series of advances in material design, the efficiency of organic solar cells has risen from 1% to over 20% within two decades, surpassing most predictions. Key to reaching this milestone has been the development of nonfullerence acceptors (NFAs) which, when paired with suitable polymer donors, yield high internal quantum efficiencies (IQEs) despite having a significantly smaller driving force for exciton splitting than is present in typical polymer:fullerene systems. There is some evide

Through remarkable advances in materials design, the efficiency of photovoltaic energy conversion in molecular materials has risen from 1% to over 20% within 2 decades. Some recent reports argue that charge photogeneration can occur directly in neat films of the best-performing molecular materials, and that this process may assist current generation in heterojunction devices. Here we address this assertion by combining experimental measurements of charge generation in single-component and heterojunction dev

Since the discovery of two-dimensional magnetic materials in 2017, an uncharted territory has opened within the field of spintronics, drawing intense interest from both experimental and computational research. From a computational perspective, studying magnetic materials requires addressing several challenges: achieving accurate simulations of localized electrons, identifying the ground state magnetic ordering, determining the parameters of effective Hamiltonians, such as Hubbard parameters or exchange inte

Molecular triplet states can produce significant phosphorescence and act as a relay state for luminescence, such as in up-conversion processes. While this property makes triplet emitters interesting for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), the study of their luminescence at the single-molecule level in high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is challenging. We investigate individual Pd-octaethylporphyrin (PdOEP) molecules decoupled from Ag(100) and Ag(111) by an ultrathin NaCl layer and observ

We present a systematic study of the oscillator strength of the positively charged excitons (X+) in Cd1-xMnxTe quantum wells. CW-absorption and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements were combined as two approaches for the determination of the oscillator strength. By varying (in a small magnetic field) the spin subband hole distribution at constant total concentration, we observe an increase of the oscillator strength in absorption, proportional to the hole concentration in one spin subband (the one w

In the present work, we theoretically investigate the intersubband relaxation of electrons in quantum well systems during photoexcitation using an ensemble Monte Carlo approach. In particular, we compare with recent experimental results by Hartig et al. (Phys. Rev. B (1999)), in which time-resolved photoluminescence measurements are made of the second subband carrier population after band-to-band excitation in a wide coupled quantum well system. In these experiments, the first excited subband energy is less

We investigate the role of Coulomb correlation in an electron-hole gas that is strongly driven by an optical pump. Coulomb scattering is treated including Born diagrams and the light-dressing of the carriers is consistently included. When the pump is spectrally tuned at the excitonic resonance, the Born correlation is found to weakly affect the fully coherent Hartree-Fock results. Our model calculations fully support recent and quite unexpected observations of excitonic Rabi oscillations in III-V quantum we

We have performed low-density (< 10(5) cm(-1)) time-resolved photoluminescence experiments that probe the relaxation of photo-excited carriers in a quantum wire. Our results show that carrier-carrier collisions are dominant at very short times both for intra- and for inter-subband scattering as only expected if non-Markovian effects are taken into account.

We report the optical properties of high quality V-groove GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7.As quantum wires (QWRs) with different thicknesses of the GaAs layer. The systematic investigation of photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra as a function of the wire size combined with model calculations allows us to study in detail the effect of two-dimensional quantum confinement on valence band mixing and polarization anisotropy. We show that the polarization anisotropy of PL spectra critically depen

Using luminescence upconversion with 100 fs resolution, we have investigated the intersubband scattering of electrons in GaAs quantum wells (QWs). The energy separations between the first and second confined electron subband (E(12)) were more or less than the LO phonon energy (E(LO)) In narrow QWs (E(12) > E(LO)) the intrinsic LO phonon scattering rate is found to be 1.6 x 10(12) s(-1). A Monte Carlo simulation allows us to reproduce the experimental data with high accuracy. In wide QWs (E(12) < E(LO)) We f

We have studied the luminescence of narrow quantum wires at photoexcitation densities of up to similar to 3 x 10(6) cm(-1). We show that even at these densities, which are well above the expected Mott density of 8 x 10(5) cm(-1), excitonic recombination dominates over other recombination channels in stark contrast with the behavior of quantum wells and bulk structures at equivalent densities. As we observe no significant shift in the peak energy with density, an upper limit to the band gap renormalization c

The dynamics of intersubband relaxation in GaAs quantum wells and the role of hot carriers and the phonon distributions have been investigated using two different optical techniques with femtosecond resolution: 1) time-resolved photoluminescence and 2) pump and probe experiments. The (2-->1) intersubband relaxation times have been measured as functions of well widths (100 Angstrom < L(well) < 220 Angstrom), under different experimental conditions (15K < T-lattice < 300K, and 1x10(10) cm(-2) < excitation den

GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs multiple-quantum-well structures with identical well thicknesses (almost-equal-to 119 angstrom) but with different Al contents x in the barrier (x almost-equal-to 0. 1, 0.2, 0.45, and 1) were grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. We report the characterization of the structures by a combination of different techniques. The x-ray-diffraction technique allows us to estimate the Al content x and to measure the period of the structure with good accuracy. Using the photographs given by high-resolution

Emission from the valence levels B2P (v = 3-5) of NO embedded in Ne crystals following excitation of the Rydberg level A 2S+ (v = 2) by synchrotron radiation is reported. A 2-step process combining bubble formation around the Rydberg state and Rydberg->valence energy transfer is invoked in order to account for these emissions. [on SciFinder (R)]
