Supramolecular nanofibers paired with nanohole substrate improve exciton transport in organic solid

🔬 Supramolecular Nanofibers Paired With Nanohole Substrate

Published by OOPSONLINE.IN · Source: Phys.org · 1 min read · · Updated

What actually happened

Self-assembling, anthracene-based supramolecular nanofibers can enable excitons to migrate hundreds of nanometers, according to a new experimental finding by researchers at Science Tokyo. Coupling these nanofibers with a plasmonic gold nanohole substrate further doubles exciton diffusivity. By mitigating the limited diffusivity of singlet excitons in organic semiconductors, this approach offers a new strategy for improving optoelectronic technologies.
