You will study the dynamics of excitons and charge carriers with femto second and nanosecond pump-probe laser techniques, including microwave and terahertz conductivity measurements. In addition, high-energy electron pulses may be used to specifically generate charges. You will study to what extent photo excitation of the polymer leads to generation of excitons and free charges. The relation between material structure and charge mobility will be investigated. Exciton diffusion and dissociation into mobile charges will be studied for blends of the polymers with electron acceptors. The research will provide information about the mechanism of motion of excitons and charges.
Candidates must have a PhD degree in physics or chemistry, and ideally have experience with time-resolved spectroscopy.
