We have used an efficient new quantum mechanical method for radical pair recombination reactions to study the spin-dependent charge recombination along PTZ$^{\bullet+}$--Ph$_n$--PDI$^{\bullet-}$ molecular wires. By comparing our results to…
Recent experiments in Pr(Nd)$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_3$ thin films exhibited (multiple) reentrant charge ordering (CO) transitions with change of {\it temperature} T under fixed magnetic field H, which are in contrast to the results for the…
Exciton and polaron pair dissociation is a key functional aspect of photovoltaic devices. To improve upon the current state of interfacial transport models, we augment the existing classical models of dielectric interfaces by incorporating…
In materials with strong electron-phonon ($e$-ph) interactions, the electrons carry a phonon cloud during their motion, forming quasiparticles known as polarons. Predicting charge transport and its temperature dependence in the polaron…
We present photoluminescence studies as a function of temperature from a series of conjugated polymers and a conjugated molecule with distinctly different backbone conformations. The organic materials investigated here are: planar…
The dynamics of electrons, spins and phonons induced by optical femtosecond pulses has been simulated for the polaronic crystal $\rm{Pr_{1/2}Ca_{1/2}MnO_3}$. The model used for the simulation has been derived from first-principles…
Electrical injection in organic semiconductors is a key prerequisite for the realization of organic spintronics. Using density-functional theory calculations we report the effect of electron transfer into the organic molecule Alq$_3$. Our…
Electronic conductivity in organic materials is well-established. Both semiconductive and metallic behavior is observed in (quasi) 0-, 1-, 2- and 3-dimensional carbon-based materials and is applied in a wide range of commercial devices.…
This article reviews spin-dependent transport of carriers in homogenous three-dimensional and two-dimensional semiconductors. We begin with a discussion of optical orientation of electron spins, which allows both the creation and detection…
We consider the polaron dynamics driven by Frohlich type, long wavelength dominated electron-phonon interaction, for three different semi-metals: single and bilayer graphene, and semi-Dirac, all grown on polar substrates such as, SiC or…
Bismuth perovskites ABiO$_3$ (A = Sr, Ba) host a variety of peculiar phenomena including bond-disproportionated insulating phases and high-temperature superconductivity upon hole doping. While the mechanisms underlying these phenomena are…
In metals in the vicinity of a polar transition, interactions between electrons and soft phonon modes remain to be determined. Here we explore the consequences of spin-orbit assisted electron-phonon coupling on the collective modes of such…
Conjugated polymers exhibit unique spin-dependent phenomena arising from weak yet critical hyperfine interactions. Understanding these spin effects, particularly the spin-dependent formation and decay of correlated spin pairs, is important…
Selected problems of fundamental importance for spintronics and spin-polarized transport are reviewed, some of them with a special emphasis on their applications in quantum computing and coherent control of quantum dynamics. The role of the…
The charge carrier dynamics of organic solar cells are strongly influenced by trapping and allow to draw conclusions on the loss mechanisms limiting the photovoltaic performance. In this study we derive the recombination order \Delta\ of…
The interplay of electric charge, spin, and orbital polarizations, coherently driven by picosecond long oscillations of light fields in spin-orbit coupled systems, is the foundation of emerging terahertz spintronics and orbitronics. The…
The design of large-scale electronic circuits that are entirely spintronics-driven requires a current source that is highly spin-polarised at and beyond room temperature, cheap to build, efficient at the nanoscale and straightforward to…
Polaron formation in quasi-one-dimensional organic ferromagnets is studied based on an extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model combined with a Kondo term. The charge distribution of the polaron is found to be highly asymmetric under spatial…
We systematically investigate PM6:Y12 bulk-heterojunction solar cells with donor fractions ranging from 1% to 45%, linking morphology, charge transport, and recombination to device performance. Complementary structural and spectroscopic…
Combined resistance noise and muon-spin relaxation ($\mu$SR) measurements of the ferromagnetic semiconductor HgCr$_2$Se$_4$ suggest a degree of magnetoelectric coupling and provide evidence for the existence of isolated magnetic polarons.…
