Singlet fission is a photophysical reaction in which a singlet excited electronic state splits
into two spin-triplet states. Singlet fission was discovered more than 50 years ago, but the …

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 …

1. INTRODUCTION An important topic in materials science in the past few decades has
been the development of organic semiconductors and their broad applications in electronics …

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 …
