[Abstract]
Organic molecular and hybrid perovskite semiconductors hold great promise for future optoelectronic and photonic applications, including printed solar panels, low-cost lighting technologies, wearable health sensors, etc.. In this talk I will present recent studies by my group about the structure-photophysics relationships of these material systems. First, I will present ultrafast optical studies that reveal the basic excited state properties and dynamics of novel organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials with high solar power conversion efficiencies (now reaching 20%). Second, I will present spectroscopic and computational results on bilayer (n = 2) 2D-perovskite crystals comprising a variety of molecular spacers, revealing insights on the basic structure-emission property relationship of these materials.
