Advanced Material Development and Devices
Members design and generate state-of-the-art, high-performing semiconductor materials, ranging from small molecules, to oligomers, to macromolecules or polymers, or MOFs, and perovskites as well as nanocrystals. The materials are tailored for specific optoelectronic applications, e.g., OLEDs, field-effect transistors, light-emitting transistors, lasers, solar cells or photodetectors, as well as quantum technologies.

Figure 1 a) Emission dynamics of Pt(II) complexes, b) Conventional excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) versus new zwitterionic ESIPT, resulted from charge redistributions, highlighting the achieved ultra-large Stokes shifts with reduction of self-absorption losses in red lasers.
