TOMATTO The ultimate Time scale in Organic Molecular opto-electronics, the ATTOsecond

    Funding :

    European Research Council, Synergy Grant 951224 (Horizon 2020).

    Duration: 2021 - 2027

The generation of electric currents that power human activities in a clean and sustainable way is a top priority for mankind. In this respect, getting a handle on the intricacies of photoinduced electron and charge transfer processes in organic materials is fundamental to enhancing the efficiency of energy conversion in solar energy devices. Given that the early stages of these processes occur on ultrafast (attosecond) time scales, their access is technically quite challenging. The TOMATTO project plans to take a closer look at this problem through advances in attosecond science and organic synthesis and the support of computational modelling.
