Carrier Transport in PbS Nanocrystal Conducting Polymer Composites
Andrew Watt, Troy Eichman, Halina Rubinsztein-Dunlop +1
In this paper we report the first measurements of carrier mobilities in an inorganic nanocrystal: conducting polymer composite. The composite material in question (lead sulphide na…
Quantitative photoluminescence of broad band absorbing melanins: A procedure to correct for inner filter and re-absorption effects
Jennifer Riesz, Joel Gilmore, Paul Meredith
We report methods for correcting the photoluminescence emission and excitation spectra of highly absorbing samples for re-absorption and inner filter effects. We derive the general…
Lead Sulphide Nanocrystal: Conducting Polymer Solar Cells
Andrew A. R. Watt, David Blake, Jamie H. Warner +4
In this paper we report photovoltaic devices fabricated from PbS nanocrystals and the conducting polymer poly MEH-PPV. This composite material was produced via a new single-pot syn…
A New Approach to the Synthesis of Conjugated Polymer: Nanocrystal Composites for Heterojunction Optoelectronics
Andrew Watt, Elizabeth Thomsen, Paul Meredith +1
We report a simple one pot process for the preparation of lead sulphide (PbS) nanocrystals in the conjugated polymer MEH-PPV, and we demonstrate electronic coupling between the two…
Broad Band Photon Harvesting Biomolecules for Photovoltaics
P. Meredith, B. J. Powell, J. Riesz +5
We discuss the key principles of artificial photosynthesis for photovoltaic energy conversion. We demonstrate these principles by examining the operation of the so-called "dye sens…
A First Principles Density-Functional Calculation of the Electronic and Vibrational Structure of the Key Melanin Monomers
B. J. Powell, T. Baruah, N. Bernstein +4
We report first principles density functional calculations for hydroquinone (HQ), indolequinone (IQ) and semiquinone (SQ). These molecules are believed to be the basic building blo…
