Organic semiconductor materials have been widely applied in optoelectronic devices to replace their inorganic counterparts and explore new fields of applications. Due to their high extinction coefficients, chemical tunability and solubility, cyanine dyes a ...
The thesis describes the computational study of structural, electonic and transport properties of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in the stable 2H and the metastable 1T' phases. Several aspects have been covered by the study including the ...
From recent advances in solid state physics, a novel material classification scheme has evolved
which is based on the concept of topology and provides an understanding of different phenomena
ranging from quantum transport to unusual flavors of superconduct ...
In this thesis, angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is used to study the electronic structure of different two-dimensional electron systems (2DES). This technique is very surface sensitive and the most direct method to probe the surface ban ...
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are a new type of materials under intense study because of their interesting physical properties and wide range of potential applications from nanoelectronics to sensing and photonics. Monolayers of semiconducting transition ...
With growing concerns on future energy supplies, solar energy appears as an energy source whose potential remains to be tapped at a large scale. In the last two decades, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) have been considered as a competitive means to conve ...
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), tungsten diselenide (WSe2) and tungsten disulfide (WS2), have shown in the last years remarkable physical properties. These direct badgap three-atoms thick monolayers, wi ...
Charge carrier and exciton trapping in organic semiconductors crucially determine the performance of organic (opto-)electronic devices such as organic field-effect transistors, light-emitting diodes, or solar cells. However, the microscopic origin of the r ...
Reliable doping is required to realize many devices based on semiconductor nanowires. Group IIIV nanowires show great promise as elements of high-speed optoelectronic devices, but for such applications it is important that the electron mobility is not comp ...
Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) are filamentary crystals with the diameter ranging from few tens up to few hundreds of nanometers. In the last 20 years, they have been intensively studied for the prospects that their unique quasi-one dimensional shape offers ...
