Two-photon-induced singlet fission in rubrene single crystal.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The two-photon-induced singlet fission was observed in rubrene single crystal and studied by use of femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. The location of two-photon excited states was obtained from the nondegenerate two-photon absorption (TPA) spectrum. Time evolution of the two-photon-induced transient absorption spectra reveals the direct singlet fission from the two-photon excited states. The TPA absorption coefficient of rubrene single crystal is 52 cm∕GW at 740 nm, as obtained from Z-scan measurements. Quantum chemical calculations based on time-dependent density functional theory support our experimental data.

متن کاملOxygen-related band gap state in single crystal rubrene.
A molecular exciton signature is established and investigated under different ambient conditions in rubrene single crystals. An oxygen-related band gap state is found to form in the ambient atmosphere. This state acts as an acceptor center and assists in the fast dissociation of excitons, resulting in a higher dark and photoconductivity of oxidized rubrene. The band gap state produces a well-de...
متن کاملOxygen Incorporation in Rubrene Single Crystals
Single crystal rubrene is a model organic electronic material showing high carrier mobility and long exciton lifetime. These properties are detrimentally affected when rubrene is exposed to intense light under ambient conditions for prolonged periods of time, possibly due to oxygen up-take. Using photoelectron, scanning probe and ion-based methods, combined with an isotopic oxygen exposure, we ...
متن کاملAssessing the Potential of Peropyrene as a Singlet Fission Material: Photophysical Properties in Solution and the Solid State
The photophysical behavior of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon peropyrene is studied both in dilute solution and in the solid state, with the goal of evaluating this molecule as a singlet fission (SF) material. In solution, the fluorescence quantum yield is consistently in the range 0.90−0.95, while the fluorescence lifetime changes from 3.2 to 5.5 ns. Analysis of the solvent dependence of t...
متن کاملUnified model for singlet fission within a non-conjugated covalent pentacene dimer
When molecular dimers, crystalline films or molecular aggregates absorb a photon to produce a singlet exciton, spin-allowed singlet fission may produce two triplet excitons that can be used to generate two electron-hole pairs, leading to a predicted ∼50% enhancement in maximum solar cell performance. The singlet fission mechanism is still not well understood. Here we report on the use of time-r...
