The energetic driving force required to drive charge separation across donor/acceptor heterojunctions is a key consideration for organic optoelectronic devices. Herein we report a series of transient absorption and photocurrent experiments as a function of excitation wavelength and temperature for two low-band-gap polymer/fullerene blends to study the mechanism of charge separation at the donor...

Highly crystalline and pure lithium metasilicate (Li2SiO3) and lithium disilicate (Li2Si2O5) nanomaterials were synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized by PXRD technique. The changes in the morphology and particle size of the synthesized nanomaterials with reaction time were investigated using SEM technique. The UV-Vis and photoluminescence spectra of the compounds were studied. Th...

By applying the projection technique to the computation of excitation energies, we study the correlation effects on the band gap of conducting polymers. In the presence of an additional electron or hole, the correlation induces a polarization cloud around the additional particle, which forms a polaron. For the excitation energy of a polaron, there is a competition between a loss of the correlat...

 First principle calculations of nanolayered ZnO polymorphs (Wurzite–, Zincblende–, Rocksalt–structures) in the scheme of density functional theory were performedwith the help of full potential linear augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method. Theexchange - correlation potential is described by generalized gradient approximation asproposed by Perdew–Burke–Ernzrhof (GGA–PBE) and modified Becke–Johns...
