Engineered carrier transport in nanostructured semiconductors using functional disorder.
Disorder is generally considered to have a purely negative impact on carrier transport and most efforts aim to minimize it. However, recent studies suggest that disorder may enhance carrier transport via carrier funneling along energetic gradients or promote carrier interconversion at defect sites. Critically though, before disorder can be exploited for improved optoelectronic performance of nanomaterials, a better understanding of the relationship between disorder and transport is needed. EnVision aims to build a bridge between fundamental observations of the benefits of disorder and materials engineering. To enable this, I have designed a two-fold strategy focussed on 1) defining the…
