Imperial College London, is a science based institution, with over 12,000 students. The Molecular Electronic Materials and Devices Programme is a cross-disciplinary, cross-departmental activity involving the Departments of Physics, Chemistry and Materials. With a clear focus on the fundamental science of the optical and electronic properties of molecular materials, the program spans a wide range of experimental and theoretical expertise, ranging from organic synthesis, materials processing and molecular modelling to device physics.
The research group has proficiency in the molecular design of conjugated aromatic polymers optimised to self assemble in well organised morphologies. The impact of microstructure on the fundamental properties of thin films is evaluated, along with electrical characterisation and device fabrication. Strong expertise and extensive facilities reside within the group in the complementary areas of organic light emitting diodes, organic field effect transistors, and organic photovoltaics.
