Soft semiconductors for flexible & efficient spin-optoelectronics

Techniques

Ultrafast polarization-controlled broadband transient absorption

optically gated & electrically gated - 100 fs to s

Ultrafast polarization-controlled broadband transient photoluminescence

optically gated (up-conversion) & electrically gated (TCSPC & iCCD) - 100 fs to s

Magneto-optics: all measurements possible down to 1.6 K and with magnetic fields of up to 7 T

all TA & PL measurements possible in Faraday & Voigt geometries

Steady-state versions of the above: (M)CD, (M)CPL, PLQY

employing lock-in detection for high sensitivity, and an integrating sphere for absolute values

Materials Synthesis

fully equipped synthesis lab including Schlenk lines and gloveboxes, as well as all standard in-house characterization methods (UVvis absorbance, PLE, XRD, MS, NMR, etc.)

access to Harvard’s Center for Nanoscale Systems (CNS) for clean room facilities, device fabrication and advanced characterization suites
