Cyanine dyes are organic semiconductor compounds with light absorption and emission properties useful for emerging technologies such as solar cells and light-emitting devices. The characteristics of these materials in the solid state depend on their organi ...
III-V nanowires (NWs) have a great potential for solar energy applications due to their diameter-dependent optical properties, which may enhance absorption of light. In addition, core-shell radial p-i-n structures, in which the direction of light absorptio ...
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 ...
Conjugated polymers and small molecules are a promising class of semiconducting materials for application in macroelectronic and energy conversion devices. The development of high performance devices employing this class of semicrystalline materials ultima ...
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 ...
We present a hybrid surface wave device, which combines Bloch surface wave (BSW) and plasmonic nanoantennas. BSWs offer in-plane dark-field illumination. Nanoantennas squeeze the incidence into nano-size and enable far-field readout without near-field tech ...
We observe impedance matched coupling between molecular vibrations and infrared optical antennas. Broadband synchrotron near-field spectroscopy reveals antenna-vibration hybridization, mode splitting, and tip excitation of coupled dark plasmon modes. ...
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) are a new class of molecular photovoltaics that mimics the natural photosynthesis, for the direct conversion of sunlight into electricity. A typical DSC is a sandwich of a dye sensitized nanoparticle TiO2 film and a catalys ...
Polycrystalline zinc oxide (ZnO) films, prepared by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition are investigated in this thesis. ZnO belongs to the class of transparent conductive oxide materials, as it is transparent to light from the visible to the near-infra ...
We describe a nanomoulding technique which allows low-cost nanoscale patterning of functional materials, materials stacks and full devices. Nanomoulding combined with layer transfer enables the replication of arbitrary surface patterns from a master struct ...
