Konstantin Ivanov intercontinental magnetic resonance seminar series started on April 8, 2020. It organises seminars on a range of topics in magnetic resonance covering NMR, EPR, hyperpolarisation, colour centres and optical pumping, and ZULF NMR. The emphasis of the talks are on both methods and applications and a perspective on the future of the field. The speakers include a wide range of scientists ranging from PhD students to post-doctoral fellows, to senior scientists.
Upcoming Talks:
October 23, 2026, Morgane Callon, CNRS/Univ. of Lyon, France
October 30, 2026, Claudia Tait, University of Oxford, UK, "Following charge generation and recombination in organic photovoltaics with magnetic resonance", Spin states and spin-dependent processes play a central role in charge generation and recombination in organic photovoltaics. In this talk, I will present our investigation of a series of donor:acceptor systems using transient electron spin resonance (ESR) and electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR). Transient ESR spectroscopy allows us to characterise the initial charge separation process by following the evolution of the spin polarisation patterns of charge-transfer states and separated charges. Through theoretical modelling and simulation of the experimental results, we identified competing charge separation pathways and re-encounter of separated charges. Complementary EDMR measurements on functioning photovoltaic devices selectively probe spins directly involved in current generation. Using a series of pulse EDMR experiments, we identified contributions from different charge recombination mechanisms.
