Stronger Together: Coupling Excitons to Polaritons for Better Solar Cells & Higher Intensity LEDs

Credit to Author: US Department of Energy| Date: Fri, 09 Aug 2024 01:42:43 +0000

In solar cells and light-emitting diodes, maintaining the excited state kinetics of molecules against annihilation is a race against time. These systems need to strike a careful balance between different processes that lead to loss of energy and those that lead to the desired outcome. A major loss mechanism especially … [continued]
