Multidimensional Spectroscopy Of Mixed-Cation Perovskite Thin Films, Geoffrey Michael Diederich Jan 2019

Multidimensional Spectroscopy Of Mixed-Cation Perovskite Thin Films, Geoffrey Michael Diederich

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Metal halide perovskite (MHP) thin films are currently undergoing an intense re- search thrust due to the excellent performance of MHP based photovoltaic (PV) devices, which have the potential to revolutionize the worlds energy production via a unique combination of low-cost fabrication and high power conversion efficiency (PCE). However, the vast majority of research is currently aimed at incremental improvements in device PCE, resulting in a body of work without the foundational understanding of the charge-carrier dynamics of the system upon photoexcitation.

This thesis begins with the development of a phase-modulated multidimensional coherent spectroscopy (PM-MDCS) experiment. PM-MDCS is an ultrafast …
