Materials Structure & Morphology

Correlating local topography with ensemble crystalline structure in organic and perovskite-based thin films.

We investigate the morphology and topography of thin films of energy materials on various length scales using electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction including GIWAXS, and atomic force microscopies.

Key questions

  • How do molecular packing and morphology affect carrier mobility and recombination?
  • How does the morphology and nanostructure of a photocatalyst influence its activity and selectivity?
