Contact-free Conductivity Measurements in Organic 2D Materials

Graphene is an attractive candidate for many optoelectronic applications because of its high carrier mobility. An essential process for many applications is the dissipation of the energy of photo-excited charge carriers in graphene. With ultrafast terahertz spectroscopy, an optical method for probing photoconductivities on ultrafast timescales, we quantify relaxation rates and pathways [1]. Carrier heating is also highly efficient when intrinsic carriers are accelerated by a strong electric field [2], which is detrimental to high-frequency electronics, but can be used to uniquely efficiently generate harmonics of terahertz radiation [3]. A drawback of graphene is the absence of a bandgap; we demonstrate a new two-dimensional metal organic framework, which is semiconducting and supports high charge mobility [4]. [1] A.
