Having the ability to monitor the light-induced charge-carrier transport is a key tool in modern optoelectronics and light harvesting applications, such as solar cells and artificial photosynthesis. Currently, the best tool for this task is Scanning Transient Absorption Microscopy (STAM) [1].
Here, we develop a new contrast mechanism for ultrafast scanning microscopy, called SPLUM (Scanning PhotoLuminescence Ultrafast Microscopy), where the carrier transport can be monitored by changes in the photoluminescence (PL) of the sample. As the PL spectrum is usually much broader than the probe spectrum, the latter can be tuned to the red tail of the first, leaving an available detection window at shorter wavelengths.
In this work we show a proof of concept experiment for the measurement of exciton diffusion using photoluminescence readouts as a mechanism to probe the ultrafast dynamics of the system. For this, we choose to study the changes in the exciton dynamics in suspended mono-layer and few layers molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) crystals [2]. This system exhibits a gradual change on its band structure as the thickness of the crystal is reduced: the band gap switches from indirect to direct gap and the PL signal is strongly enhanced when going down to the monolayer.
Finally, we perform usual STAM measurements to compare with the information on the dynamics obtained with SPLUM.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
