Our Research Interest

Organic (Opto-)Electronics

Our research is devoted to electronic excitations and functional properties of molecular single crystals, doped organic thin films, as well as single molecules. Disclosing and understanding fundamental optoelectronic processes enables the utilization of these unique properties in innovative device concepts, e. g. Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs), Organic Light Emitting Antennas (OLEAs), Organic Field Effect Transistors (OFET), ultrafast photo-switches and single photon sources.

Structural Dynamics 

Our research is concerned with the relation of lattice dynamics and distortions and the optical properties of organic semiconductors and plasmonic nanostructures. We use state of the art pump-probe techniques probe lattice dynamics on a sub-picosecond timescale

Metal-Organic Hybrid Structures

Metal-organic hybrid structures offer unique possibilities for application in already existing devices, such as photo-detectors or organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), as well as in novel photonic architectures. Furthermore, the coupling between the electronic excitations of a molecular thin film and the local plasmonic resonances of a metallic nanopattern in close proximity can tune the optical properties of the organic layer or even generate new plasmon-polaritonic states, also called plexcitons.
