Due to the unique three-dimensional (3-D) geometries of nanowire-i.e., large surface-to-volume ratios and smaller cross-sections at the nanowire-substrate interfaces-their carrier dynamics are much more complicated than those of thin films.…
Theory predicts peculiar features for excited-state dynamics in one dimension (1D) that are difficult to be observed experimentally. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are an excellent approximation to 1D quantum confinement, due to…

When redox active molecules are covalently tethered to the surface of the n-doped silicon, light induces their oxidation by the semiconductor. To visualize this charge separation we have followed the formation and decay of the surface…
Ultrafast pump-probe measurements of plasmonic nanostructures probe the non-equilibrium behavior of excited carriers, which involves several competing effects obscured in typical empirical analyses. Here we present pump-probe measurements…
The dynamics of charge carriers in amorphous semiconductors fundamentally differ from those in crystalline semiconductors due to the lack of long-range order and the high defect density. Despite intensive technology-driven research…
