Hot Carrier Mobility Dynamics Unravel Competing Subpicosecond Processes in Lead Halide Perovskites

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Andrés Burgos Caminal, Arun Aby Paraecattil, Ahmad Ajdar Zadeh Oskouei, Juan Manuel Moreno Naranjo, Aurélien René Willauer

The mechanisms behind the large photocarrier diffusion length and the outstanding photovoltaic performances of lead halide perovskites (LHP) are still debated. Hot carrier cooling and the formation of polarons are central to the charge separation process. ...

Dynamics of Interfacial Charge Transfer States and Carriers Separation in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: A Time-Resolved Terahertz Spectroscopy Study

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Arianna Marchioro, Jan Cornelius Brauer, Arun Aby Paraecattil, Ahmad Ajdar Zadeh Oskouei

Electron injection from a photoexcited molecular sensitizer into a wide-bandgap semiconductor is the primary step toward charge separation in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). According to the current understanding of DSSCs functioning mechanism, charges ...

Ultraviolet transient absorption, transient grating and photon echo studies of aqueous tryptophan

Majed Chergui, Andrea Cannizzo, Cristina Consani, Ahmad Ajdar Zadeh Oskouei, Olivier Christian Bräm

We compare UV transient grating (TG) experiments of aqueous tryptophan with transient absorption (TA) and fluorescence up-conversion measurements. The TG and TA signals show a bi-exponential rise with sub-ps and ps time constants, which are consistent with ...

Development of Ultraviolet Photon Echo Experiments for the Study of Molecular Dynamics in Solution

Ahmad Ajdar Zadeh Oskouei

This thesis work concerns the development and applications of ultrafast optical techniques and in particular photon echo in the UV range (< 300 nm). Development of these techniques in the UV range is important for studying molecular dynamics in solution, s ...

Broadband femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion and photon echo experiments in the UV

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Andrea Cannizzo, Ahmad Ajdar Zadeh Oskouei, Olivier Christian Bräm

The fs-time-resolved study of a small UV dye in different solvents with fluorescence up-conversion and photon-echo techniques in the UV range provides new insight in cooling relaxation and solvation dynamics of non-polar molecules in polar solvents. ...

Photon echo peak shift experiments in the UV: p-terphenyl in different solvents

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Andrea Cannizzo, Ahmad Ajdar Zadeh Oskouei, Olivier Christian Bräm

We present a new photon echo set-up operating in the UV range and our 1st results of photon echo peak shift (PEPS) expts. of a small non-polar dye mol., p-terphenyl (pTP), in 3 different solvents: EtOH, MeOH, and 2-propanol. The expts. show the feasibility ...

A semiclassical approach for electro-optic effect

Ahmad Ajdar Zadeh Oskouei

In this article, we present a semiclassical approach for modeling of electro-optic (EO) effect. We calculate phase retardation between x and y polarizations of optical electric field when a transverse external electric field is applied. Our results are wel ...
