Vibrational Exciton and Polaron Nano-imaging: New Functional Nano-Imaging for Molecular Electronic, Photonic, and Photovoltaic Materials
| Author | |
| Abstract |
Properties and functions of molecular materials often emerge from intermolecular interactions and associated nanoscale structure and morphology. However, conventional microscopy techniques lack sensitivity to the low-energy scales of intermolecular interactions, carrier-phonon coupling, and polaron formation leaving a missing link between material structure and observed heterogeneity in the electronic or photonic response. We address this outstanding problem in several novel combinations of spatio-spectral and spatio-temporal infrared nano-imaging. |

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
