Ultrafast charge dynamics in trap-free and surface-trapping colloidal quantum dots (2015)
Journal Article
Smith, C., Leontiadou, M., Page, R., O'Brien, P., & Binks, D. (2015). Ultrafast charge dynamics in trap-free and surface-trapping colloidal quantum dots. Advanced Science, 2(10), 1500088. https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.201600165

Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy is used to study subnanosecond charge dynamics in CdTe colloidal quantum dots. After treatment with chloride ions, these can become free of surface traps that produce nonradiative recombination. A compariso...

Urban ecosystems : Challenges for applied urban modelling (2015)
Presentation / Conference
James, P. (2015, June). Urban ecosystems : Challenges for applied urban modelling. Presented at The 5th Symposium on Applied Urban Modelling (AUM) 2015, University of Cambridge

The concept of an ecosystem can be understood as the sum of the biotic and abiotic elements in an area of study, or as the patterns and processes that operate within that area of study as a result of the interaction between the biotic and abiotic com...
