Theory and Simulation of Charge Transport and Light-Induced Processes in Carbon-Based Molecular Systems (C04)

• Subject Area: Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: from 2012 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 182849149

The focus of the project is the theoretical investigation of charge transport and light-induced processes in molecular systems with synthetic carbon allotropes. In particular, charge transport and light-driven phenomena in molecule-graphene nanojunctions as well as photoinduced electron transfer in carbon-rich molecular assemblies will be studied based on a combination of firstprinciples electronic structure calculations and quantum dynamical methods. The long-term goal of this project is to obtain a detailed understanding of electronic properties and dynamical processes in these systems.
