29. We used a screened Mataga-Nishmoto potential to describe electron-electron interactions in organic condensed phase, see Ya-shih Huang, Sebastian Westenhoff, Igor Avilov, Paiboon Sreearunothai, Justin M. Hodgkiss, Caroline Deleener, Richard H. Friend, and David Beljonne, Nature Mater. 7, 483 (2008), and references therein 10.1038/nmat2182
30. Note that: (i) this potential places the lowest CT excited state ∼ 0.3 eV above the lowest exciton state, which compares favorably with the measured energy separation of ∼ 0.38 eV in T6 single crystals (M. A. Loi, C. Martin, H. R. Chandrasekhar, M. Chandrasekhar, W. Graupner, F. Garnier, A. Mura, and G. Bongiovanni, Phys. Rev. B 66, 113102 (2002), and (ii) the method is probably less accurate for the description of long-range charge-separated states. 10.1103/PhysRevB.66.113102
