Optical Tweezers-Based Probe of Charge Transfer in Organic Semiconductors at Microscopic Scales

Creator:

Busche, Jacob A.

Abstract:

A method for measuring the (dis)charging dynamics of organic semiconductors with single-electron resolution in multiple environments is developed using optical tweezers. A 1μm silica bead was coated with either a pristine organic semiconductor or an electron donor-acceptor blend, trapped using optical tweezers, and driven with an oscillating electrical driving force....
