RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS
 PHaSE posts research highlights at this site, based on publications and reports that we make to the DOE Office of Basic Energy Sciences. We keep three highlights at a time active as thumb-nails that can be clicked to get the full-sized slide highlight as a PDF file. Previous highlights are summarized below the larger summaries by title alone.
Slide your mouse over a thumb-nail to get a larger view for a quick read.
Click on any thumb-nail to get a PDF version of the full highlight story. Titles and brief summaries are shown on the right.
We hope you enjoy reading the highlights, and will feel free to contact the PHaSE investigators if you want to learn more!

Time- and Polarization-Resolved Light Emission
in Individual Semicrystalline P3HT Nanoparticles
(A description of a new method for investigating exciton dissociation and charge recombination dynamics in individual organic-polymer nanoparticles, using polarization anisotropy. Behavior is dependent on both size and composition (presumably including chain packing) of individual "bundles" of P3HT nanoparticles)
