Optically generated carrier conductivity of thiophene-based spin-cast polymer films, as cast poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and both as cast and above liquid crystalline temperature annealed poly(2,5-bis(3tetradecylthiophen-2yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene) (PBTTT), were measured by time-resolved THz spectroscopy (TRTS) and compared to reported thin-film transistor (TFT) device measurements. The relative mobilities of the samples measured by TRTS agree well with reported TFl` mobilities. Since TRTS is sensitive to shortrange carrier mobility, this study suggests that increased mobility of PBTTT relative to P3HT films arises from improved ordering of the local structure, increased effective conjugation length, and planarity of PBTTT molecules in the solid state.

Relative Photon-to-Carrier Efficiencies of Alternating Nanolayers of Zinc Phthalocyanine and C-60 Films Assessed by Time-Resolved Terahertz Spectroscopy
Esentürk, Okan; Lane, Paul A.; Heilweil, Edwin J. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2009-10-29)
Multilayer and 1:1 blended films of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and buckminsterfullerene (C-60) were investigated as model active layers for solar cells by time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy (TRTS). Relative photon-to-carrier efficiencies were determined from ultrafast decay dynamics of photogenerated carriers using 400 and 800 nm excitation for delay times up to 0.5 ns. The findings are in good agreement with reported solar-cell device measurements, and the results exhibit a near linear increase of the re...
Photocatalytic Conversion of Nitric Oxide on Titanium Dioxide: Cryotrapping of Reaction Products for Online Monitoring by Mass Spectrometry
Lu, Weigang; Olaitan, Abayomi D.; Brantley, Matthew R.; Zekavat, Behrooz; Altunöz Erdoğan, Deniz; Ozensoy, Emrah; Solouki, Touradj (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016-04-21)
Details of coupling a catalytic reaction chamber to a liquid nitrogen-cooled cryofocuser/triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for online monitoring of nitric oxide (NO) photocatalytic reaction products are presented. Cryogenic trapping of catalytic reaction products, via cryofocusing prior to mass spectrometry analysis, allows unambiguous characterization of nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitrogen oxide species (i.e., NO and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)) at low concentrations. Results are presented, indicating that the m...
Effect of molecular and electronic structure on the light-harvesting properties of dye sensitizers
Mete, E.; Üner, Deniz; Cakmak, M.; Gulseren, O.; Ellialtoglu, S. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2007-05-24)
The systematic trends in structural and electronic properties of perylenediimide (PDI)-derived dye molecules have been investigated by DFT calculations based on the projector-augmented wave (PAW) method including gradient-corrected exchange-correlation effects. Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations have been performed to study the visible absorbance activity of these complexes. The effect of different ligands and halogen atoms attached to PDI were studied to characterize the light-ha...
Nanoparticle Formation Kinetics and Mechanistic Studies Important to Mechanism-Based Particle-Size Control: Evidence for Ligand-Based Slowing of the Autocatalytic Surface Growth Step Plus Postulated Mechanisms
Özkar, Saim (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019-06-06)
Ligands are known to affect the formation, stabilization, size, and size-dispersion control of transition-metal and other nanoparticles, yet the kinetic and mechanistic basis for such ligand effects remains to be elucidated and then coupled to predictions for improved particle size and narrower particle size distribution syntheses. Toward this broad goal, the effect of the added excess ligand (L) and the stabilizer, L = POM9- (= the polyoxometalate, P2W15Nb3O629-) is studied for the formation of POM9--stabi...
The effect of substrate and post-annealing temperature on the structural and optical properties of polycrystalline InSe thin films
Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 1998-06-08)
X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, compositional analysis and transmission measurements are performed on InSe thin films grown by thermal evaporation at different substrate and annealing temperatures of 150-250 degrees C and 100-200 degrees C, respectively. An analysis of structural measurements indicates that there exist three phases of In-Se system like InSe, In2Se3 and In6Se7 in the same film at low-substrate temperature, but at high-substrate temperatures, In2Se3 phase was absent. The comp...
