"When pentacene is excited by light, the electrons in the material rapidly react," explains Prof. Ralph Ernstorfer, a senior author of the study. "It was an open and very disputed question whether a photon excites two electrons directly or initially one electron, which subsequently shares its energy with another electron."
To unravel this mystery the researchers used time- and angle-resolv
