Quantum confinement that semiconductors experience at the nanoscale facilitate the creation of multiexcitons. However, this same confinement also increases the efficiency of Auger recombination which result in low quantum yields from these states....

Description
Solar energy conversion and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are very different applications. However, both utilize very similar photoactive molecules called porphyrins. Porphyrins are structural analogs of chlorophyll and also function as prosthetic gr...
