It forms a part of the proposal to establish a National Centre for Accelerator Science Imaging and Medicine (CASIM) at the laboratory which was first submitted to the North West Science Review Committee in 2000. The proposal for 4GLS will be assessed through the ‘Gateway Process’, with peer review organised by EPSRC on behalf of OST.

  • Roadmap for Photoelectron Spectroscopy
    Roadmap for Photoelectron Spectroscopy Prepared on behalf of EPSRC by David Payne, Imperial College London Preface This roadmap has been prepared in consultation with the community over the last few years, during which time there have been a number of significant developments that have either directly or indirectly affected the PES community. These include the recently announced EPSRC Mid-Range Facility for XPS at the Research Complex at Harwell (HarwellXPS), as well new equipment being acquired as part of the Sir Henry Royce Institute. Whilst the conclusions from this exercise, and the recommendations remain unchanged, an exercise is now underway to capture some of the impacts of these changes. It is planned for an updated roadmap to become available in the next 6 months. 2 Contents page 1.

  • Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of Requirement for the Degree of Dphil in Materials at the University of Oxford
    The Surface Chemistry and Interface Engineering of Lead Sulphide Colloidal Quantum Dots for Photovoltaic Applications Neo Chi Jin, Darren Mansfield College A thesis submitted in fulfilment of requirement for the degree of DPhil in Materials at the University of Oxford Abstract This thesis examines the effect of lead sulphide (PbS) CQDs’ surface chemistry and interfaces to their photovoltaic performance. Using PbS CQDs as the starting material, cation-exchange was utilised to form PbS/CdS core/shell CQDs, which were thoroughly characterised and the improved surface passivation was shown by increased photoluminescence yield and lifetime. The core/shell CQDs were incorporated into a ZnO/CQD heterojunction solar cell device and showed a substantial improvement of the mean open-circuit voltage (Voc), from 0.4 V to 0.6 V, over PbS reference devices. By optimising shell thickness and surface ligands, core/shell CQD devices with average device efficiency of 5.6 % were fabricated as compared to 3.0 % for unshelled PbS devices. The lower defect density due to better passivation confers lower carrier density in core/shell CQD film. To take advantage of low defect concentration and to aid charge extraction, a 3 dimensional quantum funnel concept was sought of by blending two populations of PbS/CdS CQDs of different sizes. By incorporating a blend component within a heterojunction device, even when the device thickness is beyond what is optimal for the depletion width and the diffusion length of the system, high Voc is still maintained. In a separate study, a p-i-n device strategy was examined, and with this approach, a maximum device efficiency of 6.4 % was achieved.

  • Newsletter AUTUMN / Winter 2010
    Harvesting sunshine: a solar energy family fun day On Saturday 7th August, the unsuspecting public were challenged to ‘Meet the Photon Scien- tists’ - a solar energy family-friendly scientific event, packed full of fascinating table-top demonstrations and exciting interactive activities, which took place at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester. The event was run by a team of 15 PhD students and staff from the PSI, and organized by Darren Graham, Saman- tha Hardman, Andrew Thomas with quite a few helpers! The event was supported by an Institute of Physics Public Engagement Grant to Dr Darren Graham, Dr Andrew Thomas and Prof Wendy Flavell. From L-R back row: Stuart Stubbs, Graham Dinsdale, David Cant, Darren Graham, Ben Spencer, Patrick Lunt, Andrew Thomas (the tall one!), Nic Hylton and Simon Hammersley. Front row: Sam Hardman, Karen Syres, Louise Pogson and Wendy Flavell. Not on photo: Richard Lane, John Fielden. The event addressed the key physics behind harvesting solar energy with activities including the solar concen- trator challenge, demonstrations of the latest solar technologies……and even a giant solar marshmallow cooker! It answered questions like ‘Why is the Sun yellow and the sky blue? – and gave the kids the opportu- nity to have fun with hydrogen-powered model racing cars and make a working solar cell from blackberries (and a bit of titanium dioxide!)
