New paper out in J. Phys. Chem. B 🎉 Using embedded GW–BSE calculations, we investigate why charge generation in organic solar cells depends on whether the donor or acceptor is initially photoexcited. 📄 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... Final paper from Vivek Sundaram’s PhD.

Dichotomous Initial Exciton Conversion at a DPP2Py2T-PCBM Interface: Insights from Embedded GW-Bethe–Salpeter Equation Calculations

Depending on the initial photoexcitation of the donor or acceptor phase, different efficiencies of charge generation can be observed in organic solar cells. We investigate the origin of this dichotomy...

There is literally no better example of textbook fascistic thinking than "Who cares about human rights when the rich are doing so very well"

I bought Emily Wilson’s translation of “The Odyssey”. I’d usually buy at my local bookstore but they had a two month delivery time, so I bought at Amazon for the first time in ages. Was also suspiciously cheap but now that it arrived I know why. What a crap quality. #booksky

Holding the book showing the bad print quality.

It had been on my to-listen-to list for a while and I finally got started on the podcast: Instant Classics by @wmarybeard.bsky.social Mary Beard and Charlotte Higgins. Fascinated by the conversations, the insights, and the fun bits.

The "AI" responses that Google gives about me and my work are consistently error-prone, which I know because I am me. If I know Google's "AI" responses give incorrect answers about things I know about, I can't trust it to give correct answers about things I don't know. So, no, I don't use it.

Election fail: when you and your partner request mail-in voting documents from the same city administration at the same day and in the end only one of you gets the actual ballot. 😒

A lovely day at which we sent off one revision of a manuscript, only to receive four hours later reports for another paper, where you wonder if the reviewer even read the paper 😒

Here’s a Christmas present for y’all: a new physics post! I’ve done these things on “the other side”—let’s see how many people are interested on 🦋! I’ll be talking about a famous principle in classical mechanics: that of “least action.” And I’ll tell you why it’s a misnomer! Buckle up! 1/26
