Photothermal cantilever deflection spectroscopy
Microcantilever sensors offer high sensitivity in the detection of adsorbed molecules based either on resonance frequency shift or changes in cantilever deflection, as both of these signals can be detected with very high resolution. Despite the high sensitivity offered by this platform, cantilevers suffer from poor selectivity due to the lack of sufficiently selective interfacial layers which c...
متن کاملDirect Correlation of Charge Transfer Absorption with Molecular Donor:Acceptor Interfacial Area via Photothermal Deflection Spectroscopy.
Here we show that the charge transfer (CT) absorption signal in bulk-heterojunction solar cell blends, measured by photothermal deflection spectroscopy, is directly proportional to the density of molecular donor:acceptor interfaces. Since the optical transitions from the ground state to the interfacial CT state are weakly allowed at photon energies below the optical gap of both the donor and ac...
متن کاملThermal Desorption Spectroscopy of Hydrogen from Amorphous Hydrogenated Silicon
T h e r m a l desorption spectroscopy (TDS) based on the mass spectroscopy of thermal ly evolved hydrogen is used for desorption analysis of amorphous hydrogenated silicon (a-Si:H). Two series of glow discharge chemical vapour deposited a-Si:H were investigated by the T D S method . Cons tan t t e m p e r a t u r e growth ra te enabled to determine t empera tu re regions of hydrogen evolution a...
متن کاملPhotothermal deflection spectroscopy and detection.
The theory for a sensitive spectroscopy based on the photothermal deflection of a laser beam is developed. We consider cw and pulsed cases of both transverse and collinear photothermal deflection spectroscopy for solids, liquids, gases, and thin films. The predictions of the theory are experimentally verified, its implications for imaging and microscopy are given, and the sources of noise are a...
متن کاملMechanisms of metastability in hydrogenated amorphous silicon
We survey theoretical approaches to understanding the diverse metastable behavior in hydrogenated amorphous silicon. We discuss a recently developed network-rebonding model involving bonding rearrangements of silicon and hydrogen atoms. Using tight-binding molecular dynamics we find non-radiative recombination can break weak silicon bonds with low activation energies, producing dangling bond–fl...
