Atomic Layer Semiconductors as Biological Analog Photocells for Intrinsically Regulated Light Harvesting
Abstract
The PI intends to fabricate atomically thin heterostructure optoelectronic devices that try to mimic the reaction centers of plants (Photosystem II - thylakoid membranes antannea systems). The intent is to form complex electronic systems. He then intends to control and enhance the power conversion efficiency and suppress the internal power fluctuations by 2 channel absorption and finally reduce the electronic and thermal energy dissipation through efficient charge carrier energy relaxation. This work focuses on quantum structure and fluctuations within a nanoscale heat engine to understand power conversion in molecular-scale photocells.
