Research Interests

Effect of molecular organization on exciton transport in molecular thin films.
The exciton diffusion length in molecular thin films is usually in the order of only 1 nm. Current research focuses on the impact of the molecular organization on exciton diffusion through a dye layer towards an exciton-dissociating interface. The molecular organization is elucidated using various optical techniques combined with x-ray diffraction. Exciton diffusion is monitored using the Time-Resolved Microwave Conductivity Technique. The molecular organization appears to strongly affect the exciton diffusion length. The most efficient exciton transport realized so far is based on a homeotropic nematic molecular alignment, yielding an exciton diffusion length ≥ 13 nm.
