Spin Fine Structure Reveals Biexciton Geometry in an Organic Semiconductor.

Author
Abstract
:

In organic semiconductors, biexcitons are key intermediates in carrier multiplication and exciton annihilation. Their local geometry governs their electronic properties and yet has been challenging to determine. Here, we access the structure of the recently discovered S=2 quintet biexciton state in an organic semiconductor using broadband optically detected magnetic resonance. We correlate the experimentally extracted spin structure with the molecular crystal geometry to identify the specific molecular pairings on which biexciton states reside.
