Photodynamics of Artificial Porphyrins and Metal Oxides Thin Films

第一个目标是研究一系列人造卟啉，以了解它们的电子结构和动力学之间的关系，希望根据具体应用对它们进行微调。第二个目标是研究光活性薄膜金属氧化物中的电子动力学，以了解其光催化抗菌性能背后的潜在机制。人们再次希望对这些新材料进行微调，以提高它们的光催化效率。这两个目标都利用了最先进的激光光谱仪。然后，学生将获得制备和处理分子和固态样品的技术经验，并获得超快光学、数据处理和解释方面的专业知识。

The first objective is to investigate series of artificial porphyrins to understand the relation between their electronic structure and dynamics, in the hope of fine-tuning them for specific applications. the second objective is to investigate the electron dynamics in photo-active thin-film metal oxides to understand the underlying mechanisms behind their photo-catalytic antibacterial properties. The hope is again to fine tune these novel material to enhance their photo-catalitic efficiencies.Both objectives make use of state of the art laser spectroscopies. The student will then gain technical experience in preparing and handling both, molecular and solid state samples and gain expertise in the use of ultrafast optics, data processing and interpretation.
