ABOUT THE GROUP
RLE's Organic and Nanostructured Electronics Laboratory pursues work in two broad themes. One involves the investigation of the physical properties of organic thin films, structures, and devices. The other theme is in molecular electronics, where the group examines various aspects of molecular
physics and technology, ranging from prototypical molecular electronic circuits (photosynthetic
complexes), to charge transport at metal-molecule interfaces. The laboratory's fundamental findings are applied to the development of practical optoelectronic, electronic, and photonic organic devices of nano-scale thickness, including visible LEDs, lasers, solar cells, photodetectors, transistors, chemical sensors, and memory cells. In addition to working on small-molecular-weight van der Waals bonded organic thin films, the group is also also examining hybrid organic/inorganic structures, polymer solids, and self-assembled materials. The group's aim is to reduce the size of active organic layers from the present nano-scale thickness of organic thin films to that of single molecules, with the ultimate goal of probing functionality of single molecules or polymer strands. Integral to this research is development of new methods for materials growth and techniques for directed nano-scale patterning over large areas.
