It is proposed that the bimolecular process of triplet exciton fusion to form singlet excitons can be enhanced by reducing the size of the domain in which the triplet exciton pair is free to move. These small domains, or exciton cages, are much more effective when the host material is highly anisotropic, and the triplet excitons are constrained to move in one or two dimensions. In the present case, the host material is tetracene crystal in which triplet exciton diffusion is essentially two dimensional. The exciton caging is produced by introducing relatively high concentrations of a guest molecule that can reflect the triplet exciton rather than trap it; in the present case, 2,3‐benzocarbazole (BC) is used. Polycrystalline mixtures of BC in tetracene were prepared in the mol fraction range 0%–50%. In tetracene, the mode of decay of the first excited singlet state is by fission into two neighboring triplet excitons that can undergo geminate recombination. The introduction of BC is found to increase the tet...
