This dissertation explores three related embodiments of light–matter interactions at the micro– and nano–scales, and is focused towards tangible device applications. The first topic provides a fundamentally different transistor or electronic switc...
Organic-inorganic hybrids may offer material properties enhanced compared to or not available from their inorganic and organic components. However, they are typically less stable and disordered. A group of highly ordered II-VI based hybrid structu...
Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy are two of the major spectroscopic techniques that are currently used in studies on solid state materials. Raman spectroscopy, which is based on Raman scattering process, is widely used in characterizi...
Photoluminescence mapping and time resolved photoluminescence imaging have previously been used to study charge carrier dynamics in bulk semiconductors. Recently, our research group has used spatially resolved PL mapping to examine and model carri...

Description
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites are viewed as a cost-effective alternative for photovoltaic devices, among other applications. Solution and low-temperature processing have gathered much attention for this class of materials. However, the stab...
