The student will use X-rays and neutrons to characterise the microstructure of vacuum-deposited organic solar cells (OSC), with a focus on bridging our understanding of thin film microstructure with underlying solar cell device physics. She will carry out her research using our world-class X-ray characterisation facilities in Oxford for ex-situ studies, as well as our newly upgraded vacuum deposition chamber at Diamond Light Source beamline I07 for in-situ X-ray scattering. During her DPhil, the student will also make use of the equipment built as part of a previous DPhil at the new Larmor instrument at ISIS for the characterisation of OSC thin films using neutron scattering. These unique sample environments will lay the foundation for new, world-leading capabilities for the study of OSCs and other vacuum-deposited advanced functional materials.This project falls within the EPSRC Physical Sciences research area where Energy and Manufacturing the Future are two of the themes.

学生将使用X射线和中子来表征真空沉积有机太阳能电池(OSC)的微结构，重点是将我们对薄膜微结构的理解与潜在的太阳能电池器件物理联系起来。她将使用我们位于牛津的世界级X射线表征设备进行非原位研究，以及我们新升级的钻石光源光束线i07真空镀膜室进行原位X射线散射。在她的DPhil期间，这名学生还将利用ISIS新的Larmor仪器作为之前DPhil的一部分建造的设备，使用中子散射来表征OSC薄膜。这些独特的样品环境将为OSCs和其他真空沉积先进功能材料的研究奠定世界领先的新能力。该项目属于EPSRC物理科学研究领域，其中能源和制造未来是两个主题。
