triplet-triplet annihilation

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.T06505
Two atoms or molecular entities both in a @T06503@ often interact (usually upon collision) to produce one atom or molecular entity in an excited @S05699@ and another in its ground @S05699@. This is often, but not always, followed by @D01579@.
