Deciphering Thermalization of Hybrid Charge Transfer States
Abstract
We propose to investigate and understand the various excitonic interactions that govern the thermalization of hybrid charge transfer excitons (HCTEs) and thereby transport of energy at organic-transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) interface. The combination of the two disparate material systems, creates a unique platform to reap the benefits of both the worlds and unveil rich physics that remains unexplored till date. In the proposed work we will investigate transport of HCTE over a wide range of temperature to reveal the governing physics behind highly mobile HCTEs. We will model the thermalization dynamics and present a unified theory for transport, which is vital for the further development of the material system. Developing a thorough understanding of HCTE thermalization and its effect on transport forms a basis for developing hybrid excitonic materials platform for applications in spintronics, quantum information processing, memories, energy harvesting, to as-yet unimagined purposes. The knowledge from this research will serve Air Force Office of Scientific Research’s goal of development of advanced organic, hybrid, and polymeric materials for future U.S. Air Force applications.
