On the Response Speed of Narrowband Organic Optical Upconversion Devices

Frank Nüesch, Roland Hany, Surendra Babu Anantharaman, Matthias Diethelm, Wei-Hsu Hu

Organic upconversion devices (OUCs) consist of an organic infrared photodetector and an organic visible light-emitting diode (OLED), connected in series. OUCs convert photons from the infrared to the visible and are of use in applications such as process c ...

Electron Trap Dynamics in Polymer Light-Emitting Diodes

Frank Nüesch, Roland Hany, Michael Bauer, Matthias Diethelm, Wei-Hsu Hu

Semiconducting polymers are being studied intensively for optoelectronic device applications, including solution-processed light-emitting diodes (PLEDs). Charge traps in polymers limit the charge transport and thus the PLED efficiency. It is firmly establi ...

Asymmetric azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition on chiral metal surfaces

Harald Brune, Roland Hany, Roland Widmer, Michael Bauer, Samuel Thomas Stolz

Achieving fundamental understanding of enantioselective heterogeneous synthesis is marred by the permanent presence of multitudinous arrangements of catalytically active sites in real catalysts. In this study, we address this issue by using structurally co ...

The Dynamic Emission Zone in Sandwich Polymer Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells

Frank Nüesch, Roland Hany, Beat Ruhstaller, Matthias Diethelm, Balthasar Bluelle

In light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs), the position of the emission zone (EZ) is not predefined via a multilayer architecture design, but governed by a complex motion of electrical and ionic charges. As a result of the evolution of doped charge tr ...
