Dynamics of the triplet-pair state reveals the likely coexistence of coherent and incoherent singlet fission in crystalline hexacene
The absorption of a photon usually creates a singlet exciton (S1) in molecular systems, but
in some cases S1 may split into two triplets (2× T1) in a process called singlet fission. Singlet …
