Watching and controlling energy transport within and between molecules

Abstract: The efficient transport and interconversion of energy carriers between photons, electrons, ions and heat underpins all life on earth. I will describe my recent efforts to watch and precisely control energy transport and interconversion both within and between molecules. I will focus on the development of a new instrument capable of tracking the motion of energy packets through solid-state materials in 3 dimensions with nanometer precision and picosecond time resolution. I will show how tracing charge carrier pathways with high spatiotemporal precision in heterogeneous materials, like polycrystalline metal-halide perovskites, enables us to resolve long-standing puzzles in the field of solution-processed semiconductors for optoelectronic applications.
