Abstract
Solid-state materials with improved light-to-energy conversions in organic photovoltaics and in optoelectronics are expected to be developed by realizing efficient triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) by manipulating the spin conversion processes to the singlet state. In this study, we elucidate the spin conversion mechanism for delayed fluorescence by TTA from a microscopic view of the molecular conformations. We examine the time evolution of the electron spin polarization of the triplet-pair state (TT state) in an amorphous solid-state system exhibiting highly efficient up-conversion emission by using time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance. We clarified that the spin-state population of the singlet TT increased through the spin interconversion from triplet and quintet TT states during exciton diffusion with random orientation dynamics between the two triplets for the modulation of the exchange interaction, achieving a high quantum yield of up-conversion emission. This understanding provides us with a guide for the development of efficient light-to-energy conversion devices utilizing TTA.
