The femtosecond-resolved evolution of the emission spectrum of the important conjugated polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is presented. Detailed fluorescence up-conversion spectroscopy was performed on P3HT solid-state films and on P3HT in chlorobenzen ...
Heterogeneous photocatalysis over TiO2 using the sunlight seems to be a promising technology for waste-water treatment and drinking water production. However, the overall efficiency of TiO2 under natural sunlight is limited to the UV-driven activity (λ < 4 ...
A large number of characterization tools for semiconductor based heterostructures are available nowadays. Most of these techniques deliver high temporal resolution (down to hundreds of femtoseconds) or good spatial resolution (down to sub nanometer resolut ...
Metal-free org. dyes with a core phenoxazine chromophore have been synthesized and tested as sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells. Overall conversion efficiencies of 6.03-7.40% were reached under std. AM 1.5 G illumination at a light intensity of 100 ...
We demonstrate the effect of rapid thermal annealing on heavily Si-doped AlN/GaN quantum wells. After 1000 degrees C annealing during 5, 10, and 20 min, the dominant effect was interdiffusion of Si rather than intermixing between the Al and Ga atoms. Both ...
This thesis work contains an experimental study of many-body and cooperative effects in quantum wells. Many-body effects prove important for an understanding of the physical and specifically optical properties of semiconductors. The Coulomb interaction bet ...
We employ time-dependent density functional theory to study the optical properties of a squaraine sensitized TiO2 system, as a model for the corresponding dye-sensitized solar cell. The all-organic squaraine dye is particularly promising for light absorpti ...
Quantum chemical methods are important tools for the predictions of electronic structure and energetics of molecules providing the interpretation of spectroscopic experiments and reaction mechanisms. In this thesis, density functional theory (DFT) and wave ...
Dye-to-semiconductor electron transfer is the initial step in many processes where light is used for the storage of information (e. g. color photography) or converted into electricity as in dye-sensitized solar cells. In the latter, interfacial charge inje ...
The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) challenges conventional photovoltaics with its potential for low-cost prodn. and its flexibility in terms of color and design. Transient absorption spectroscopy is widely used to unravel the working mechanism of DSCs. A ...
