We investigate electron and hole dynamics upon photon excitation in dye-sensitized solar cells, using a recently developed method based on real-time evolution of electronic states through time-dependent density functional theory. The systems we considered ...
The purpose of this introduction to spintronics is to provide some elementary description of its conceptual building blocks. Thus, it is intended for a newcomer to the field. After recalling rudimentary descriptions of spin precession and spin relaxation, ...

The nature and the role of 1 to 5 nm thick TiO2 seed layers for the growth of textured PbTiO3 and Pb(Zr, Ti)O-3 thin films on textured Pt(111) thin film substrates have been studied. Under otherwise identical in situ sputter deposition process conditions, ...
We have directly measured the carrier temperature in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) via spontaneous emission and we demonstrate an unexpectedly high carrier temperature. The direct correlation of the temperature increase with the carrier density s ...
Protonation of norbom-5-en-2-one gives 6-oxo-2-norbomyl cation (2) as most stable C7H9O+ cation. Quantum calculations at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level (gas phase, 1 atm, 25 degrees C) predict a C-s-structure for 2 that can be represented as an intramolecular pi-com ...
Cette thèse s’est déroulée dans le cadre d’une réflexion sur la fragilisation par les métaux liquides, un des phénomènes pouvant limiter la durée de vie de la cible de spallation dans les réacteurs hybrides qui représentent une des solutions possibles pour ...

Titanium-containing amorphous hydrogenated carbon films (a-C:H/Ti) have been deposited by a medium-frequency-driven physical vapor deposition plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor deposition process at 40 kHz. Core-level photoelectron spectroscopy and valence-ban ...
We used a combination of internal photoemission and of near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) to study the lateral Variations in solid interface properties such as energy barriers and electron-hole recombination. Ln particular we investigated the fully forme ...
To understand the effects of substitution patterns on photosensitizing the ability of boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY), two structural variations that either investigate the effectiveness of various iodinated derivatives to maximize the "heavy atom effect" or ...
The electronic properties were studied of TiO2 and electrochem. Li-inserted TiO2 using synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in conjunction with resonant photoelectron spectroscopy. Core level (Ti 2p) and ...
