Charge carrier dynamics in metalated polymers investigated by optical-pump terahertz-probe spectroscopy.

چکیده
We report charge carrier dynamics in solid films of a series of metalated polymers based on Pt- and 4,7-di-2'-thienyl-2,1,3,-benzothiadiazole or 4,7-di-2'-thienothienyl-2,1,3,-benzothiadiazole upon photoexcitation of the pi-pi* transition using optical-pump terahertz-probe spectroscopy. Subpicosecond generated charge carriers recombine within 100 ps, but bound excitons persist. Application of the Drude-Smith model allows for estimation of the intrinsic mobility and internal quantum yield of charge carrier generation in these films. Thermal annealing is found to have no effect on nanometer scale charge transport.

Ultrafast optical-pump terahertz-probe spectroscopy of the carrier relaxation and recombination dynamics in epitaxial graphene.
The ultrafast relaxation and recombination dynamics of photogenerated electrons and holes in epitaxial graphene are studied using optical-pump terahertz-probe spectroscopy. The conductivity in graphene at terahertz frequencies depends on the carrier concentration as well as the carrier distribution in energy. Time-resolved studies of the conductivity can therefore be used to probe the dynamics ...

We report subpicosecond carrier dynamics in photoexcited solid films of regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene2,5-diyl) (P3HT) and a blend of P3HT/[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) using opticalpump terahertz-probe spectroscopy for excitations well above and below the generally accepted energy gap in P3HT. Both 400 nm excitation and 800 nm excitation yield similar results, suggestin...
متن کاملNovel electronic ferroelectricity in an organic charge-order insulator investigated with terahertz-pump optical-probe spectroscopy
In electronic-type ferroelectrics, where dipole moments produced by the variations of electron configurations are aligned, the polarization is expected to be rapidly controlled by electric fields. Such a feature can be used for high-speed electric-switching and memory devices. Electronic-type ferroelectrics include charge degrees of freedom, so that they are sometimes conductive, complicating d...
متن کاملSize-Dependent Ultrafast Charge Carrier Dynamics of WO3 for Photoelectrochemical Cells
Time-resolved terahertz (THz) spectroscopy and open circuit photovoltage measurements were employed to examine the sizedependent charge carrier dynamics of tungsten oxide (WO3) particles. Specifically, films of commercially available WO3 nanoparticles (NP) and granular particles (GP) with diameters of 77 ± 34 nm and 390 ± 260 nm, respectively, were examined in air and also while immersed in 0.1...
متن کاملVery slow cooling dynamics of photoexcited carriers in graphene observed by optical-pump terahertz-probe spectroscopy.
Using optical-pump terahertz-probe spectroscopy, we study the relaxation dynamics of photoexcited carriers in graphene at different substrate temperatures. We find that at lower temperatures the tail of the relaxation transients measured by the differential probe transmission become slower, extending beyond several hundred picoseconds below 50 K. We interpret the observed relaxation transients ...
