ITHACA, New York, June 20 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
Singlet fission occurs when an organic molecule absorbs one photon of light, then splits that light's energy in two - a doubling effect that has the potential to improve the light-harvesting efficiency in solar cells, assuming the generated electrons can be properly harvested.
A Cornell-led team used ultrafast laser spectroscopy to scrutinize a key intermediate state during the fission process, c . . .
