Collective effects of polyaromatitc molecules embedded in rare gas matrices — •Moritz Michelbach, Matthias Bohlen, Rupert Michiels, and Frank Stienkemeier — Institute of Physics, University of Freiburg, Hermann-Herder-Str. 3, 79104 Freiburg, Germany

Polyaromatic molecules, such as oligoacenens, are promising candidates for organic solar cells. These solar cells can achieve photon-to-current conversion efficiencies beyond the 30% Shockley-Queisser [1] limit. The underlying process responsible for creating multiple charge carriers from a single photon is called singlet fission. In this process, an excited molecule can partially transfer energy to a neighboring ground-state molecule, and thereby create a correlated triplet pair [2]. To investigate collective processes especially singlet fission, we have measured the lifetime of the excited molecule embedded in rare gas matrices. A significant lifetime reduction is observed in the presence of neighboring molecules [3]. As a comparison to isolated molecules on solid cluster surfaces, we use the artificially bound bis-TIPS pentacene molecule [4], which is embedded in superfluid helium nanodroplets.
