This paper, authored by M. A. Baldo, C. Adachi, and S. R. Forrest, published in Physical Review B in 2000, focuses on the transient analysis of triplet-triplet annihilation in organic electrophosphorescence. The authors investigate the observed decrease in electrophosphorescent intensity at high current densities in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs), attributing it primarily to triplet-triplet annihilation. They model the quantum efficiency versus current characteristics of electrophosphorescent devices using parameters extracted from transient phosphorescent decays. The study finds that the increase in luminance observed for phosphors with short excited-state lifetimes is due to reduced triplet-triplet annihilation. The paper also derives an expression for a limiting current density ($J_0$) above which triplet-triplet annihilation dominates, which helps in identifying useful phosphors and optimizing the design of electrophosphorescent molecules and device structures. The authors analyze several material systems, including PtOEP in CBP, PtOEP in Alq3, Ir(ppy)3 in CBP, PtOEP in Ir(ppy)3, and Eu(TTA)-phen in CBP, to understand the effects of triplet energy differences and energy transfer processes on the strength of triplet-triplet annihilation. They conclude that minimizing the lifetime of triplet states and achieving rapid energy transfer to low concentrations of phosphorescent sites are key to improving the efficiency of electrophosphorescent emission.This paper, authored by M.
