Our group was involved in a study of transient photocurrent responses of self‐standing nanostructures. These devices are of fundamental interest in materials science and nanoscience and are widely used in (opto‐)electronic and photonic devices as well as in micro‐electromechanical systems. … Continue reading →

Charge-carrier mobility has been investigated by time-of-flight (TOF) transient photocurrent in a lateral transport configuration in highly crystalline thin films of 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno [3,2-b][1] benzothiophene (C8-BTBT) grown by a zone-casting alignment technique. High TOF mobility has been revealed that it is … Continue reading →

Our group has been involved in a collaborative approach to study non-fullerene organic solar cells. Recent advances in the development of non-fullerene acceptors have increased the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells to approximately 13%. Fullerene-derivatives and non-fullerene acceptors … Continue reading →

We used time-of-flight photocurrent measurements to determine the role of grain boundaries in charge carrier transport in thin layers of methyl ammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3). The measurement results were compared to Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, based on a transport model, … Continue reading →

Our group was involved in collaboration to investigate fast photocurrent transients of crystalline dioctyl‐3,4,9,10‐perylenedicarboximide nanowires and 6,13‐bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene microplates , which were integrated into a vertical‐yet‐open asymmetrical heterojunction for the realization of a high‐performance organic photovoltaic detector, which shows fast … Continue reading →

We have performed a systematic study of dependence of time-resolved photocurrent on the point of charge excitation within the organic semiconductor channel formed by two coplanar metal electrodes. The results confirm that spatial variation of electric field between the electrodes … Continue reading →
