报告地点:玉泉校区永谦一楼报告厅

报告安排:

Part 1.  General Introduction – Materials Department of Imperial College London

Part 2.  Molecular Materials for Optoelectronic and Spintronic Applications

Abstract:  

Polyaromatic molecular materials are key components in organic electronics with applications including commercial OLEDs and organic photovoltaics. Phthalocyanines (Pcs) are of particular interest as they are able to incorporate a spin-bearing transition metal at their centre, which may lead to a combination of semiconducting and magnetic properties.

 

This presentation will review the fascinating properties of phthalocyanines, and survey methodologies for fabricating films and nanostructures with a high degree of control. This versatility will be harnessed to improve solar cell device performance and introduce new spin-based applications for molecular materials.

 

报告人简介:

Sandrine is a Reader in the Department of Materials at Imperial College, which she joined as a Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellow on 1st January 2007. She obtained her first degree in Chemistry from the University of Liege, Belgium (1998) and her PhD from Imperial College (2002). During the course of her PhD, Sandrine was awarded a Marie Curie training site fellowship which allowed her to work at TU-Chemnitz, Germany, working in the group of Professor Zahn. She subsequently spent two years as a post-doctoral research fellow working on molecular photovoltaic cells at Imperial College. She then moved to the Department of Physics and London Centre for Nanotechnology at University College London in 2004 to start her Fellowship, entitled "Molecular Magnetic Biosensors". In 2008 Sandrine was awarded the IOM3 Silver Medal. Sandrine is currently a member of MatSEEC, the Materials Science and Engineering Expert Committee of the European Science Foundation.

 

Her current research directions are focused on magnetic properties of molecular thin films, spintronic applications, novel fabrication methods for oxides, detailed structural characterisation of films and interfaces, and nanowire devices.
