The LO vibrational mode obtained from DFT is corrected for the H masses, with its wave number ν LO fed as ω LO into the 1d model. As both central atoms of the molecule oscillate and the oscillation is self-contained therein (standing vibration), we get k (ω LO) = 0 [6], whereby we can calculate γ and the entire 1d phonon dispersion. . …

Advanced Materials, one of the world''s most prestigious journals, is the home of choice for best-in-class materials science for more than 30 years. The charge carrier dynamics in organic solar cells and …
Hot-carrier solar cells use the photon excess energy, that is, the energy exceeding the absorber bandgap, to do additional work. These devices have the potential to beat the upper limit for the photovoltaic power conversion efficiency set by near-equilibrium thermodynamics. However, since their conceptual inception in 1982, making this concept …
