Colour Centers, Quantum Sensors and Microwave Emitters

The development of a solid-state system for quantum information technologies and sensing applications is a very vibrant research area. An essential part of it, the spin degree of freedom, is an invaluable source of information as it provides an interface to the environment it is surrounded by. Our group is interested in 2D and 3D wide bandgap semiconductors, such as hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and silicon carbide (SiC), which have recently attracted much interest as technologically perspective quantum platforms.

Spin Effects in Organic Semiconductors and Devices

Organic semiconductors are a promising class of materials for the next generation of light emitting diodes (OLED) and solar cells (OPV). Several phenomena in these semiconductors are related to the spin properties of triplet excitons and charge transfer states that are optically or electrically generated in device active layers and can influence the charge carrier generation and radiative recombination quantum efficiency. In other words, spin is a crucial parameter controlling the physical limits of device quantum efficiency.

Congratulations

David Keirmasch (2nd from left) at the Poster Award Ceremony on 15.03.2018 in Berlin.

to David Kiermasch and the Photovoltaic Group, winners of the Outstanding Poster Award of the Chemical and Polymer Physics (CPP) Division of the German Physical Society (DPG).
The prize sponsored by Park Systems Europe GmbH was awarded in the Annual General Meeting of the CPP Division on 15.03.2018 in Berlin.

The work entitled “Charge carrier recombination in planar n-i-p and p-i-n perovskite solar cells - the role of interfaces” is a collaboration of the Julius Maximilian University Würzburg, Instituto de Ciencia Molecular of University of Valencia in Spain and Bavarian Center for Applied Energy Research (ZAE Bayern). The work presented at the DPG Spring Meeting Berlin 2018 addressed charge carrier recombination dynamics in vacuum deposited planar n-i-p and p-i-n perovskite solar cells with power conversion efficiencies of 20 % and 17 %, respectively. David and coauthors explained the differences between both types of devices by studying charge carrier recombination dynamics with steady state and transient electrical measurements and attributed them to different recombination rates. The work at ZAE Bayern and University of Würzburg were carried out within the project titled “Potential of Perovskite Photovoltaics: Investigation of relevant physical parameters, material properties and efficiency limiting factors in hybrid perovskite solar cells” (HYPER) funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under 03SF0514A and 03SF0514B.
