Activities span from molecular materials organic and inorganic semiconductors, wide bandgap semiconductors, point defects, rare earth doping, and ferroelectrics. Exciton dynamics in molecular crystals and organic semiconductors, including singlet exciton fission and triplet exciton fusion, is studied via pump and probe spectroscopy and fluorescence dynamics (Biaggio). Other techniques include nonlinear optical spectroscopy (Biaggio) and infrared optical spectroscopy under application of hydrostatic pressure, and magnetic fields (Stavola). Point defects in insulating materials with ferroelectric domain walls and other dopants, excitation processes of rare earth in wide band gap semiconductors, formation dynamics of single crystals in glass (Dierolf). For Defects in semiconductors, current interest is in defect complexes that contain light- element impurities such as H, C, O, and N, where vibrational spectroscopy and uniaxial stress techniques are used to elucidate microscopic properties (Stavola, Fowler). Other topics include Raman and neutron scattering, dielectric and ultrasonic spectroscopies, collective vibrational dynamics of disordered ferroelectrics and glasses (Toulouse).
