Do “Hot” Charge-Transfer Excitons Promote Free Carrier Generation?

G. Nan, X. Zhang and G. Lu (California State University Northridge)

In organic photovoltaics, the role of hot charge-transfer (CT) excitons on free carrier generation is currently under intense debate. In this project, we carry out first-principles time-dependent density functional theory calculations to examine hot CT dissociation in polymer/fullerene het

Nanomaterial Based Long-Range Ruler Can Screen Prostate Tumor

Paresh Ray   (Jackson State University),  DMR-Award # 1205194

Since the ability to detect very low levels of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) may enable doctors to diagnose men with prostate cancer recurrence, it has the capability to reduce prostate cancer-related mortality and morbidity.
