Magnetic field dependence of singlet fission in solutions of diphenyl tetracene.

چکیده
Magnetic field effects provide a convenient and specific probe of singlet exciton fission within optoelectronic devices. Here, we demonstrate that this tool may also be applied to screen potential fission material candidates in solution. We characterize the phenomenon in diphenyl tetracene (DPT), which shows strong fluorescence modulation and the expected field dependence in its transient decay as a function of concentration. Solution measurements may also be used to test for the presence of an intermediate charge transfer state, but we observe no changes to the field dependence of DPT singlet exciton fission in toluene relative to chloroform.

A Simple Kinetic Model for Singlet Fission: A Role of Electronic and Entropic Contributions to Macroscopic Rates
A simple three-state model for the dynamics of the singlet fission (SF) process is developed. The model facilitates the analysis of the relative significance of different factors, such as electronic energies, couplings, and the entropic contributions. The entropic contributions to the rates are important; they drive the SF process in endoergic cases (such as tetracene). The anticipated magnitud...
متن کاملSynthesis and photophysical properties of a "face-to-face" stacked tetracene dimer.
A covalently linked tetracene dimer has been prepared and its molecular structure is characterized by (1)H NMR and MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The minimized molecular structure reveals that the tetracene subunits in a dimer adopt a "face-to-face" stacked configuration. Its absorption spectrum differs significantly from that of the monomeric counterpart in solution, sugg...
متن کاملMagnetic dipolar interaction between correlated triplets created by singlet fission in tetracene crystals
Singlet fission can potentially break the Shockley-Queisser efficiency limit in single-junction solar cells by splitting one photoexcited singlet exciton (S1) into two triplets (2T1) in organic semiconductors. A dark multiexciton state has been proposed as the intermediate connecting S1 to 2T1. However, the exact nature of this multiexciton state, especially how the doubly excited triplets inte...
متن کاملFemtosecond Laser Spectroscopy and Singlet Fission
Singlet exciton fission or singlet fission (SF) is a process in which a singlet excited molecule, usually in a densely packed organic solid or in a polymer, shares its energy with a neighboring molecule in its electronic ground state, both molecules forming a pair of triplet states in a spin allowed process. SF was first proposed in 1965 to explain the delayed fluorescence in anthracene crystal...
متن کاملMagnetic field effects and the role of spin states in singlet fission
Singlet fission is a photophysical process that has promise for increasing the efficiency of solar cells. The dynamics depend on triplet spin states and can be influenced by external magnetic fields. In 4-electron systems, fission takes an initial singlet state into a superposition of triplet pair states. Direct evidence for this superposition state is provided by quantum beats in the delayed f...
