The student will use X-rays and neutrons to characterise the microstructure of vacuum-deposited organic solar cells (OSC), with a focus on bridging our understanding of thin film microstructure with underlying solar cell device physics. She will carry out her research using our world-class X-ray characterisation facilities in Oxford for ex-situ studies, as well as our newly upgraded vacuum deposition chamber at Diamond Light Source beamline I07 for in-situ X-ray scattering. During her DPhil, the student will also make use of the equipment built as part of a previous DPhil at the new Larmor instrument at ISIS for the characterisation of OSC thin films using neutron scattering. These unique sample environments will lay the foundation for new, world-leading capabilities for the study of OSCs and other vacuum-deposited advanced functional materials.This project falls within the EPSRC Physical Sciences research area where Energy and Manufacturing the Future are two of the themes.

学生将使用 X 射线和中子来表征真空沉积有机太阳能电池 (OSC) 的微观结构，重点是将我们对薄膜微观结构的理解与基础太阳能电池器件物理联系起来。她将使用我们位于牛津的世界一流的 X 射线表征设施进行异位研究，以及我们在钻石光源光束线 I07 处新升级的真空沉积室进行原位 X 射线散射。在攻读博士学位期间，学生还将利用 ISIS 的新拉莫尔仪器中作为先前博士学位的一部分建造的设备，利用中子散射来表征 OSC 薄膜。这些独特的样本环境将为研究 OSC 和其他真空沉积先进功能材料的世界领先的新能力奠定基础。该项目属于 EPSRC 物理科学研究领域，其中能源和制造未来是两个主题。
