Mapping Energy Transfer in Time and Space

在这个项目中，学生将优化和使用一种新开发的称为频闪SCAT的显微镜技术来跟踪激子能量在空间和时间上的转移。该项目是一个跟踪有机半导体和生物材料中能量传递途径的独立项目，但它与最近由EPSRC资助的725万英镑合作项目密切相关，该项目的目的是开发一种新的模块化方法来创建光子材料，灵感来自生物光合膜。希望在“分子光子实验板”资助下开发的一些新材料将以使用频闪SCAT的学生为特征，为学生提供尖端材料和样品。

In this project the student will optimize and use a newly developed microscopy technique called stroboSCAT to track excitonic energy transfer in space and time. This project is a stand-alone project to track energy transfer pathways in organic semiconductor and biological materials, but it aligns closely with a recent £7.25M collaborative project funded by EPSRC, the aim of which is to develop a new, modular approach for the creation of photonic materials, inspired by biological photosynthetic membranes. It is hoped that some of the new materials developed within the 'molecular photonic breadboards' grant will be characterised by the student using stroboSCAT, offering the student access to cutting-edge materials and samples.
