There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Photochemical Behavior of TiO2- Following Electron and Hole Behavior
AACP Seminar Series
The behavior of photogenerated charge carriers in TiO2 is a key issue in the optimization of efficiency of both photovoltaic devices and of redox processes which occur on the TiO2 surface. Using a variety of physical methods we have been able to monitor processes such as charge transfer across the surface and electron-hole recombination within the TiO2 bulk. These methods have allowed us to control the transport of electrons and holes at the semiconductor surface by causing band bending, using various adsorbed molecules.
