Exciton mean free path

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-004195",
  "term": "Exciton mean free path",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The average distance an exciton travels in a material before undergoing a scattering event or recombination. This parameter provides insight into the efficiency of energy transfer within a semiconductor or polymer. It is a measure of how far an exciton can propagate before losing its energy.",
