Silicon photosensitisation using molecular layers
Original language description
Silicon photosensitisation via energy transfer from dye molecular layers is a promising area of research for excitonic silicon photovoltaics. We present the synthesis and photophysical characterisation of vinyl and allyl terminated Si(111) surfaces decorated with perylene molecules. The functionalised silicon surfaces together with Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films based on perylene derivatives were studied using a wide range of steady-state and time resolved spectroscopic techniques. Fluorescence lifetime quenching experiments performed on the perylene modified monolayers revealed energy transfer efficiencies to silicon up to 90 per cent. We present a simple model to account for the near field interaction of a dipole emitter with the silicon surface and distinguish between the `true’ FRET region (<5 nm) and a different process, photon tunneling, occurring for distances between 10 nm - 50 nm. The requirements for a future ultra-thin crystalline solar cell paradigm include efficient surface passivation and keeping a close distance between the emitter dipole and surface. These are discussed in the context of existing limitations and questions raised about the finer details of the emitter-silicon interaction.
