Light Harvesting Materials
Materials such as hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites, self-assembled molecular crystals, and conjugated polymers can demonstrate anomalously long excitonic diffusion. We seek to characterize and optimize these materials through an iterative combination of synthesis and spectroscopy. In the laboratory, we probe the initial femtosecond dynamics after excitation and follow the fate of the carriers and excitons through the nanosecond (or hundreds of nanosecond) timescale.
