The phase transition of VO 2 from a monoclinic insulator to a rutile metal, which occurs
thermally at TC= 340 K, can also be driven by strong photoexcitation. The ultrafast dynamics …

Two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) confined at the interface of SrTiO 3-based
heterostructure exhibits intriguing electronic and optoelectronic properties. In this work, we …

The dynamics and energetics of electrons in water impacts diverse fields, from
electrochemistry to astrochemistry. In the present experiments, long-lived, low-energy …

Broadband time-resolved measurements of pristine and Mg-doped vanadium dioxide (VO 2)
films are presented herein. The two films were synthesized on float glass and K-glass (SnO …

Hybrid systems consisting of electrically conducting, transparent inorganic materials
combined with optically active molecules may potentially surpass current optoelectronic …

This thesis explores the electronic structure and ultrafast dynamics of two lowdimensional
materials with focus on the role of intrinsic interactions and couplings to the environment …

The lifetime, coupling, and localization dynamics of electronic states in molecular films near
metal electrodes fundamentally determine their propensity to act as precursors or reactants …

Hybrid inorganic organic systems (HIOS) promise to lead to a new generation of light-
harvesting and emitting devices that combine high carrier mobilities and charge injection (or …

The optical properties of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) are dominated by
excitons, due to quantum confinement and reduced screening characteristic of their 2D …

The irradiation of biological matter with ionizing radiation often leads to the formation of
highly excited charged molecules. These systems can electronically relax through emission …
