At the intersection of physics and chemistry, Organic Light Emitting Diodes operate by injecting charges (electrons and holes) into thin layers of organic molecular materials. The excited state properties of these molecules are controlled by their chemical structure, and these determine the efficiency and colour of the device - now with market-leading applications in phones and monitors.
In this project we will develop new spectroscopic techniques to investigate materials relevant to OLED applications. As well as the intrinsic properties of the emitters, their intermolecular interactions with the separate hosts materials they are dispersed in will guide development of new approaches towards high performance and longevity. You will develop broad skills in physical chemistry and spectroscopy, as well organic semiconductor device fabrication and optoelectronic characterisation skills. Applicants with broad interests in physical chemistry or condensed matter physics are encouraged to apply.
