Ultraviolet physics typically induces a kinetic mixing between gauge singlets which is marginal and hence non-decoupling in the infrared. In singlet extensions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model, e.g. the next-to-minimal…
We explore the low energy phenomenology of an F-theory based SU(5) model which, in addition to the known quarks and leptons, contains Standard Model singlets, and vector-like color triplets and SU(2) doublets. Depending on their masses and…
We present an approach based on a dimer expansion which describes low-energy singlet excitations (singlons) in spin-$\frac12$ Heisenberg antiferromagnet on simple square lattice. An operator ("effective Hamiltonian") is constructed whose…
Electron-hole (e-h) capture in luminescent conjugated polymers (LCPs) is modeled by the dissipative dynamics of a multilevel electronic system coupled to a phonon bath. Electroinjected e-h pairs are simulated by a mixed quantum state, which…
Singlet fission describes the spin-conserving production of two triplet excitons from one singlet exciton. The existence of a spin-2 (quintet) triplet-pair state as a product of singlet fission is well established in the literature, and…
Singlet oxygen (O2) comes in two flavors -- namely the dominant lower-energy a 1 Delta g state and the higher-energy shorter-lived b 1 Sigma + g state -- and plays a key role in many photochemical and photobiological reactions. For this…
The number of excitons that conjugated polymers can support at any one time underpins their optoelectronic performance in light emitting diodes and as laser gain media, as it sets a natural limit on exciton density. Here we have measured…
