The spin sublevel dynamics of the excited triplet state in thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules have not been investigated for high-intensity organic light-emitting diode materials. Understanding mechanism intersystem crossing (ISC) is thus important designing novel TADF We report first study on ISC lowest from singlet with charge-transfer (CT) character different external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) using time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance methods.

Luminescent radicals are an emerging class of materials that exhibit unique photofunctions not found in closed-shell molecules due to their open-shell electronic structure. Particularly promising which radical's spin and luminescence correlated; for example, when a magnetic field can affect (i.e., magnetoluminescence, ML). These could be useful the new science photonics. However, previous observations ML have been limited systems randomly doped host crystals or polymerized through metal...
Magnetic field effects (MFEs) on singlet fission were studied by observing fluorescence from organic crystal of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene under magnetic fields up to 5 T.

Photon upconversion via triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA-UC) is well-known as a photophysical process that converts low-energy light into higher-energy light. This has drawn attention for its potential in various fields including light-emitting device, power genera-tion, and medical applications. To promote these societal applications, it desirable to develop TTA-UC materials exhibit high ener-gy conversion efficiency. For this, TTA emitters with large rate constants (kTTA) are required....
