Measuring and controlling exciton diffusion, charge generation and charge extraction in organic and hybrid semiconductors for photovoltaic applications
(University of St Andrews, 2020-06) - ThesisThe growing demand for energy and the need for renewables as well as the advent of the internet of things increase the demand for more versatile, efficient, cheap and environmentally friendly solar cells based on organic ... -
Through-space interactions in thermally activated delayed fluorescent emitters : novel materials and organic light emitting diodes
(University of St Andrews, 2020-06-22) - ThesisThermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) has emerged as one of the most promising and efficient approaches realizing highly efficient organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). This attractive approach utilizes organic ... -
Diode-pumped Tm³⁺-doped sesquioxide lasers for ultrashort pulse applications in the 2μm region
(University of St Andrews, 2020-06-22) - ThesisThis thesis presents the development of Tm³⁺-doped sesquioxide laser sources in the 2–2.1 μm spectral region. The primary focus of this development has been aimed towards high power diode-pumped mode-locked laser sources ... -
Tensor network simulations of open quantum systems
(University of St Andrews, 2020-06-22) - ThesisThe nonequilibrium effects of dissipation and drive play a key role in an immense variety of nanoscale and mesoscale quantum systems. To understand the behaviour of open quantum systems, we need accurate methods that capture ... -
Majorana mediated non-local charge dynamics in topological superconductors
(University of St Andrews, 2019-12-03) - ThesisTopology has enjoyed great success as a paradigm for the classification and understanding of condensed matter outside the framework of spontaneously broken symmetry. This success is all the more remarkable considering ...
