X-Rui Seminar Series Announcement: 1/10/2026 Dr. Jun Yan

题目：有机光伏电池的器件尺度物理建模与应用报告人：颜骏单位：香港中文大学（深圳）报告内容简介：有机光伏电池（OPV）的激发态和电荷分离态动力学极其复杂，多尺度建模难度大、成本高，较难量化从激子产生到电荷抽取的完整过程，是OPV研究的核心难点之一。本报告将主要介绍报告人近几年在OPV器件物理模型开发与计算方面的研究工作，从有效介质模型-漂移扩散方程出发，首先介绍自由载流子（即：电荷分离态）动力学的模型构建，重点阐述无序能带结构对载流子动力学的影响；随后，介绍基于马库斯电荷转移理论的激发态动力学模型的构建，并重点阐述激发态动力学对能量损失的重要作用；最后，基于细致平衡原理，完成了激发态与电荷分离态...
