The electron-electron and electron-phonon coupling in complex materials can be more complicated than simple density-density interactions, involving intertwined dynamics of spin, charge, and spatial symmetries. This motivates studying…
In this paper, we explore the signature of a simplified model which includes a new singlet scalar state and a vector like quark at future lepton colliders. In particular, we study the production of the new singlet scalar in association with…
Decoherence-free subspaces (DFS) in systems of dipole-dipole interacting multi-level atoms are investigated theoretically. It is shown that the collective state space of two dipole-dipole interacting four-level atoms contains a…
Several recent electron spin resonance studies have observed a quintet multiexciton state during the singlet fission process. Here we provide a general theoretical explanation for the generation of this state by invoking a time-varying…
It is observed that interstitial hydrogen nucleii on a metallic lattice are strongly coupled to their near neighbours by the unscreened electromagnetic field mediating transitions between low-lying states. It is shown that the dominant…
Currently, considerable resurgent interest exists in the concept of superradiance (SR), i.e., accelerated relaxation of excited dipoles due to cooperative spontaneous emission, first proposed by Dicke in 1954. Recent authors have discussed…
Singlet fission, in which the optical spin-singlet exciton dissociates into two low energy triplet excitons, has been proposed as a viable approach to enhance the quantum efficiency of organic solar cells. We show that even when singlet…
This paper presents a possible explanation for the enhanced singlet exciton yield in light emitting polymers. We propose a theory of electron-hole recombination via inter-molecular inter-conversion from inter-molecular weakly bound polaron…
We present density functional theory calculations of the binding energies of one, two and three fluorine adatoms on the same side of monolayer graphene. We show that fluorine dimers on graphene in a spin-singlet state are stable against…
The alpha-particle energy deposition mechanism modifies the ignition conditions of the thermonuclear Deuterium-Tritium fusion reactions, and constitutes a key issue in achieving high gain in Inertial Confinement Fusion implosions.…
In inflationary cosmology all particle states decay as a consequence of the lack of kinematic thresholds. The decay of an initial single particle state yields an \emph{entangled quantum state of the product particles}. We generalize and…
The interaction between excited states of a closed-shell chromophore and a nearby free radical species gives rise to spin-coupled doublet states, namely singdoublet and tripdoublet, as well as a quartet state. This coupling facilitates…
Singlet exciton fission is the spin-allowed generation of two triplet electronic excited states from a singlet state. Intramolecular singlet fission has been suggested to occur on individual carotenoid molecules within protein complexes,…
The phase behavior of symmetric diblock copolymers under three-dimensional (3D) soft confinement is investigated using the self-consistent field theory. The soft confinement is realized in binary blends composed AB diblock copolymers and C…
The fission of singlet excitons into triplet pairs in organic materials holds great technological promise, but the rational application of this phenomenon is hampered by a lack of understanding of its complex photophysics. Here, we use the…
We investigate the onset and mechanism of Hilbert space fragmentation (HSF) in a chain of strongly interacting Rydberg atoms subject to local dephasing. It is found that the emergence of multiple long-lived metastable states is…
We present a theory of the electronic structure and photophysics of 1:1 blends of derivatives of polyparaphenylenevinylene and fullerenes. Within the same Coulomb-correlated Hamiltonian applied previously to interacting chains of…
Frenkel excitons are the primary photoexcitations in organic semiconductors and are ultimately responsible for the optical properties of such materials. They are also predicted to form \emph{bound} exciton pairs, termed biexcitons, which…
A ray of photons, emitted from a laser source, is in a coherent state, where macroscopic number of photons are degenerate in the same quantum state. The coherent state has degrees of freedom for spin and orbital angular momentum, which…
Engineering the position of the lowest triplet state (T1) relative to the first excited singlet state (S1) is of great importance in improving the efficiencies of organic light emitting diodes and organic photovoltaic cells. We have carried…
