We present a potential solution to the problem of extraction photogenerated holes from CdS nanocrystals and nanowires. The nanosheet form C3N5 is low-band-gap (Eg = 2.03 eV), azo-linked graphenic carbon nitride framework formed by polymerization melem hydrazine (MHP). nanosheets were either wrapped around nanorods (NRs) following synthesis pristine chalcogenide or intercalated among them an in situ protocol two kinds heterostructures, CdS-MHP CdS-MHPINS, respectively. improved photocatalytic...
Tin iodide phosphide (SnIP), an inorganic double-helix material, is a quasi-1D van der Waals semiconductor that shows promise in photocatalysis and flexible electronics. However, our understanding of the fundamental photophysics charge transport dynamics this new material limited. Here, we use time-resolved terahertz (THz) spectroscopy to probe transient photoconductivity SnIP nanowire films and, with insight into highly anisotropic electronic structure from quantum chemical calculations,...

Mercury cadmium telluride (Hg1−xCdxTe or MCT) is the premier material for infrared detection. However, despite its importance, studies exploring ultrafast photoresponse in this semiconductor alloy are limited. Here, we use time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy to perform a detailed study of picosecond charge carrier dynamics long-wave Hg1−xCdxTe (x ∼ 0.2) films, providing insight into cooling and temperature-dependent scattering mechanisms. Due multilayer photoexcited sample geometry, an...

Mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) is a well-established semiconductor alloy with widely tunable band gap in the infrared. However, there have been no comprehensive studies on its ultrafast THz photoconductivity dynamics. We report ultra-high carrier mobilities ($6 \times 10^{\mathbf{5}} \mathrm{cm}^{\mathrm{2}}$/Vs) and long lifetimes long-wave infrared MCT films as measured by time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy (TRTS). A crossover to negative at higher frequencies also observed. Our results...
We report on position-dependent measurements of photocarrier transport using time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy (TRTS) across a slot-die printed perovskite film varying morphology. Using the Drude-Smith model for photoconductivity spectra we maximum intrinsic mobilities $540 \pm 20$ ${\mathrm {cm}}^{2} {\mathrm {V}}^{-1} {s}}^{-1}$. In addition, measure variation in extracted and localization c-parameter, correlated with complementary morphology optical properties. To best our knowledge...
