Direct observation of ultrafast coherent exciton dynamics in helical π-stacks of self-assembled perylene bisimides.

abstract：:Single impurities with nonzero spin and multiple ground states offer a degree of freedom that can be utilized to store the quantum information. However, Fe(2+) dopant is known for having a single nondegenerate ground state in the bulk host semiconductors and thus is of little use for spintronic applications. Here we s...
