Three key ideas for organic photonics and electronics

• Electronic correlations can significantly modify the relative energy of excited electronic states, especially near transition states.
• Due to conical intersections between potential energy surfaces non-adiabatic processes can lead to ultrafast internal conversion (transitions between different electronic states).
• The environment has a significant effect on the rate of transitions between quantum states.

Elastic interactions and complex patterns in binary systems

One of the many beauties of condensed matter physics is that it can reveal and illuminate how two systems or phenomena that at first appear ...
