The high efficiency of charge generation within organic photovoltaic blends apparently contrasts with the strong "classical" attraction between newly formed electron-hole pairs. Several factors have been identified as possible facilitators…
The power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells has recently improved beyond 20%. The active layers of these devices comprise of at least two organic semiconductors, forming a type II heterojunction. Hereby, the device performance is…
Charge separation is a critical process for achieving high efficiencies in organic photovoltaic cells. The initial tightly bound excitonic electron-hole pair has to dissociate fast enough in order to avoid photocurrent generation and thus…
While silicon solar cells dominate global photovoltaic energy production, their continued improvement is hindered by the single junction limit. One potential solution is to use molecular singlet exciton fission to generate two electrons…
We develop a general theory of electron--hole recombination in organic light emitting diodes that leads to formation of emissive singlet excitons and nonemissive triplet excitons. We briefly review other existing theories and show how our…
Singlet fission is a form of multiple exciton generation which occurs in organic chromophores when a high energy singlet exciton separates into two lower energy triplet excitons, each with approximately half the singlet energy. Since this…
The electronic structure of the three-particle donor bound exciton (D$^0$X) in silicon is computed using a large-scale atomic orbital tight-binding method within the Hartree approximation. The calculations yield a transition energy close to…
We consider a simple model for the geminate electron-hole separation process in organic photovoltaic cells, in order to illustrate the influence of dimensionality of conducting channels on the efficiency of the process. The Miller-Abrahams…
Electrical transients enabled by optical excitation and electric detection provide a distinctive opportunity to study the charge transport, recombination and even the hysteresis of a solar cell in a much wider time window ranging from…
The theoretical and experimental study of energy transfer in photosynthesis has revealed an interesting transport regime, which lies at the borderline between classical transport dynamics and quantum-mechanical interference effects.…
The ultrafast dynamics of photon-to-charge conversion in an organic light harvesting system is studied by femtosecond time-resolved X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (TR-XPS) at the free-electron laser FLASH. This novel experimental…
We propose a continuum model for the theoretical study of hybridized moir\'e excitons in transition metal dichalcogenides heterobilayers, and we use a variational method to solve the exciton wavefunction and calculate the optical absorption…
In photosynthetic organisms, the energy of light during illumination is absorbed by the antenna complexes, which is transmitted by excitons and is either absorbed by the reaction centers (RCs), which have been closed in this way, or emitted…
The conversion of an absorbed photon from the exciton energy into the reaction centre in the photosynthetic complex has a near unit efficiency. It is becoming clear that any classical model, where the exciton hopping is modeled by a…
The formation of bound electron-hole pairs, also called charge-transfer (CT) states, in organic-based photovoltaic devices is one of the dominant loss mechanisms hindering performance. While CT state dynamics following electron transfer…
The dissociation of excited electron-hole pairs is a microscopic process that is fundamental to the performance of photovoltaic systems. For this process to be successful, the oppositely charged electron and hole must overcome an…
Since the seminal work on MoS2 monolayers, photoexcitation in atomically-thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) has been assumed to result in excitons with large binding energies (~ 200-600 meV). Because the exciton binding energies…
We present and discuss a mathematical model for the operation of bilayer organic photovoltaic devices. Our model couples drift-diffusion-recombination equations for the charge carriers (specifically, electrons and holes) with a…
Excitation and charge transfer in low-energy O+H collisions is studied; it is a problem of importance for modelling stellar spectra and obtaining accurate oxygen abundances in late-type stars including the Sun. The collisions have been…
Organic/inorganic hybrid systems offer great potential for novel solar cell design combining the tunability of organic chromophore absorption properties with high charge carrier mobilities of inorganic semiconductors. However, often such…
