Σύστημα Φασματοσκοπίας Φωτορεύματος & Φωτοτάσης με Διαμόρφωση Έντασης (Intensity-Modulated Photocurrent & Photovoltage Spectroscopy System)
Σύστημα Φασματοσκοπίας Φωτορεύματος και Φωτοτάσης με Διαμόρφωση Έντασης: Χρησιμοποιείται για την αξιολόγηση του χρόνου μεταφοράς φορέων, των ρυθμών ανασύνθεσης και άλλων χρόνων κλίμακας σε μετρήσεις φωτορεύματος/φωτοτάσης με διαμόρφωση της έντασης του φωτός.

Intensity-Modulated Photocurrent & Photovoltage Spectroscopy System
The Intensity-Modulated Photocurrent & Photovoltage Spectroscopy System allows to perform sample examination that is complementary to static photovoltage/photocurrent measurements. Monochromatic LED with modulated light intensity of sinusoidal waveform in a wide range of frequencies enables to investigate many kinetic quantities: diffusion parameters, time scales of the sample: carrier transport time, recombination rates and many others. In case of photoelectrochemical samples immersed in an electrolyte, the sample may be illuminated on both sides: through the electrolyte, to investigate electrolyte-sample surface interface, or through the rear optical window for substrate-sample interface examination. The sample setup is placed in the Sample Chamber that screens ambient light and external EM fields.
⬛ Quantities measured by the instrument:
- Minority carriers lifetime (recombination time),
- Carrier transport time through the sample,
- Rate of the charge transfer through the interfaces,
- Diffusion constant,
- Diffusion length for a given sample thickness,
- Sample thickness for a given diffusion length,
- Other kinetic quantities.
