There currently is no effective, commercially available system for probing and testing organic photovoltaic materials and cells at the micro-and nanoscales. Such a probe system is critically needed to enable researchers to quickly and efficiently evaluate organic blends, characterize mixing/phase separation, and help scale up manufacturing methodologies for next generation organic and hybrid thin film photovoltaic technologies. Asylum Research, in collaboration with the Ginger Group at the University of Washington and Alexander Tselev at the University of Tennessee, proposes to design, construct and commercialize a Nanoscale Probe System based on Asylum
