in the current study, pure tio2 and cr-doped tio2 (cr@tio2) nanoparticles were synthesized via sol-gel method and the resulting materials were applied to prepare the porous tio2 electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells (dsscs). it is hypothesized that the advantages of the doping of the metal ions into tio2 lattice are the temporary rapping of the photogenerated electron-hole (charge carriers)...

This study addresses the free energy dependence of charge recombination following photoinduced bimolecular electron transfer in three different solvents of either inert (acetonitrile and benzyl acetate) or reactive (N,N-dimethylaniline) character. Femtosecond time-resolved fluorescence and transient absorption have been used to determine the time scales for charge recombination. In pure N,N-dim...

A model of nonequilibrium charge recombination from an excited adiabatic state of a donor-acceptor complex induced by the nonadiabatic interaction operator is considered. The decay of the excited state population prepared by a short laser pulse is shown to be highly nonexponential. The influence of the excitation pulse carrier frequency on the ultrafast charge recombination dynamics of excited ...

Photoinduced primary charge-separation and charge-recombination are characterized by a combination of time-resolved optical and EPR measurements of a fullerene-porphyrin-linked triad that undergoes fast, stepwise charge-separation processes. The electronic coupling for the energy-wasting charge recombination is evaluated from the singlet-triplet electronic energy gap in the short-lived, primary...

an improved mixed order model is presented to describe the thermolumunescence (tl) glow peaks. in this model a fraction of charge carriers, which undergo nonradiative recombination following thermal excitation is taken into account. therefore, it is expected that the proposed model will produce more realistic kinetic parameters than that of mixed order model. the tl glow curves generated by the...
