Exciton wavefunctions come into view
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
Physicists have experimentally reconstructed the quantum probability distribution of an exciton for the first time using super-fast spectroscopy. By simultaneously capturing the spatial and momentum spreads of these short-lived quasiparticles, the work adds to our understanding of how excitons evolve in complex materials. According to members of the research team, this improved understanding could lead to advances in organic photovoltaic devices.
