Ultra-High-Resolution Microscopy for Characterizing Exciton Transport

Abstract

The proposed acquisition of equipment is to assemble the world’s first of its kind exciton energy transport characterization tool with nanoscale spatial and picoscale temporal resolution. The tool pushes the limits of light-matter interactions by combining nanoaperture based near-field scanning probe technique with confocal microscopy to study exciton dynamics at cryogenic temperatures under external magnetic field. It breaks through existing resolution limits to provide valuable insights into the nanoscale excitonic interactions relevant to energy transport. We expect the new spectroscopy and imaging tool to help link the observed macroscopic signatures with the underlying nanoscale phenomenon and to discover scientifically important findings that will create new research directions in the emerging age of clean energy and information technology.
