Abstract
We measure the dielectric confinement lengthscales of triplet excitons in organic semiconductors by jointly measuring their microwave-domain electric and magnetic susceptibilities. We apply this technique to characterize triplet excitons in two singlet fission materials with distinct solid-state packing, and correlate the extracted localization lengthscales with the role of the excitonic environment. Using the magnetic susceptibility simultaneously determined through our experiments, we compare the independently extracted dielectric and spin-spin localization lengthscales, highlighting the role of local anisotropy on the properties of excitonic triplet states.
