Have you ever wondered why pulsed illumination in rubrene single crystals fails to produce fluorescence
quantum beats when a magnetic field is applied in the ab plane? Likely not. In any case, we found that the
prescence of inequivalent molecules in the unit cell, combined with slow exciton diffusion (compared to
tetracene), leads to high-field Transport-Induced Dephasing (TID). Chosen as an Editor's Suggestion!
