Quantifying Photoinduced Polaronic Distortions in Inorganic Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals

Majed Chergui, Nicola Colonna, Michele Puppin, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Andre Al Haddad, Dominik Kinschel, Oliviero Cannelli, James Michael Budarz, Ludmila Maria Diniz Leroy

The development of next-generation perovskite-based optoelectronic devices relies critically on the understanding of the interaction between charge carriers and the polar lattice in out-of-equilibrium conditions. While it has become increasingly evident fo ...

Femtosecond X-ray emission study of the spin cross-over dynamics in haem proteins

Majed Chergui, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Dominik Kinschel, Oliviero Cannelli, Jérémy Raymond Jean Maurice Rouxel, James Michael Budarz, Boris Sorokin

In haemoglobin the change from the low-spin (LS) hexacoordinated haem to the high spin (HS, S = 2) pentacoordinated domed deoxy-myoglobin (deoxyMb) form upon ligand detachment from the haem and the reverse process upon ligand binding are what ultimately dr ...

Localized holes and delocalized electrons in photoexcited inorganic perovskites: Watching each atomic actor by picosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy

Majed Chergui, Gloria Capano, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Andre Al Haddad, Dominik Kinschel, Lars-Hendrik Mewes, Jakob Grilj, Fabio Giacomo Santomauro, James Michael Budarz

We report on an element-selective study of the fate of charge carriers in photoexcited inorganic CsPbBr3 and CsPb(ClBr)(3) perovskite nanocrystals in toluene solutions using time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy with 80 ps time resolution. Probing th ...

Time-resolved Element-selective Probing of Charge Carriers in Solar Materials

Majed Chergui, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Mercedes Hannelore Rittmann-Frank, Jochen Rittmann, Dominik Kinschel, Fabio Giacomo Santomauro, James Michael Budarz

We review our recent results on the implementation of picosecond (ps) X-ray absorption spectroscopy to probe the electronic and geometric structure of centres formed by photoexcitation of solar materials such as TiO2 polymorphs and inorganic Cs-based perov ...
