Abstract:We use a Boltzmann transport equation (BE) to study time evolution of a photo-excited state in a nanoparticle including phonon-mediated exciton relaxation and the multiple exciton generation (MEG) processes, such as exciton-to-biexciton multiplication and biexciton-to-exciton recombination. BE collision integrals are computed using Kadanoff-Baym-Keldysh many-body perturbation theory based on density functional theory simulations, including exciton effects. We compute internal quantum efficiency (QE), which is … Show more

Previously, it has been shown that the variations in the single particle energies over the Brillouin zone is reasonably small (≈ 10%) when three unit cells have been included in the simulation instead of one [14]. For the (6,5) SWCNT only one unit cell was included due to high computational cost.…”

“…First, one uses DFT-based MBPT technique to compute exciton-to-biexciton decay and recombination rates, i.e., the rates of the inverse and direct Auger processes, respectively [10,11]. Next, one utilizes DFT software to compute phonon frequencies and normal modes, which are then used to compute one-and two-phonon exciton emission rates [14]. Finally, all these rates are incorporated into the Boltzmann transport equation (BE) which provides comprehensive nonperturbative description of time evolution of the excited state including "competition" between different relaxation channels, such as MEG, phonon-mediated relaxation, etc.…”

We develop a method for computing self-energy of a biexciton state in a semiconductor nanostructure using many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) based on the density functional theory (DFT) simulation. We compute energies of low-energy biexciton states composed of singlet excitons in the chiral single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), such as (6,2), (6,5) and (10,5). In all cases we find a small decrease in the biexciton gap: -0.045 eV in (6,2), which is 4.59% of the non-interacting biexciton gap; -0.041 eV in (6,5), which is 4.47% of the non-interacting gap and -0.036 eV in (10,5), which is 4.31%.

The exciton, an excited electron–hole
pair bound by Coulomb
attraction, plays a key role in photophysics of organic molecules
and drives practically important phenomena such as photoinduced mechanical
motions of a molecule, photochemical conversions, energy transfer,
generation of free charge carriers, etc. Its behavior in extended
π-conjugated molecules and disordered organic films is very
different and very rich compared with exciton behavior in inorganic
semiconductor crystals. Due to the high degree of variability of organic
systems themselves, the exciton not only exerts changes on molecules
that carry it but undergoes its own changes during all phases of its
lifetime, that is, birth, conversion and transport, and decay. The
goal of this review is to give a systematic and comprehensive view
on exciton behavior in π-conjugated molecules and molecular
assemblies at all phases of exciton evolution with emphasis on rates
typical for this dynamic picture and various consequences of the above
dynamics. To uncover the rich variety of exciton behavior, details
of exciton formation, exciton transport, exciton energy conversion,
direct and reverse intersystem crossing, and radiative and nonradiative
decay are considered in different systems, where these processes lead
to or are influenced by static and dynamic disorder, charge distribution
symmetry breaking, photoinduced reactions, electron and proton transfer,
structural rearrangements, exciton coupling with vibrations and intermediate
particles, and exciton dissociation and annihilation as well.
An exploration of the "on-the-fly" nonadiabatic couplings (NACs) for nonradiative relaxation and recombination of excited states in 2D Dion− Jacobson (DJ) lead halide perovskites (LHPs) is accelerated by a machine learning approach. Specifically, ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) of nanostructures composed of heavy elements is performed with the use of machine-learning forcefields (MLFFs), as implemented in the Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP). The force field parametrization is established using on-the-fly learning, which continuously builds a force field using AIMD data. At each time step of the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, the total energy and forces are predicted based on the MLFF and if the Bayesian error estimate exceeds a threshold, an ab initio calculation is performed, which is used to construct a new force field. Model training of MLFF and evaluation were performed for a range of DJ-LHP models of different thicknesses and halide compositions. The MLFF-MD trajectories were evaluated against pure AIMD trajectories to assess the level of discrepancy and error accumulation. To examine the practical effectiveness of this approach, we have used the MLFF-based MD trajectories to compute NAC and excited-state dynamics. At each stage, results based on machine learning are compared to traditional ab initio based electronic dissipative dynamics. We find that MLFF-MD provides comparable results to AIMDs when MLFF is trained in an NPT ensemble.
