Saturday Morning Physics | Organic Optical Materials: From Solar Cells to Light-Emitting Diodes
Theodore Goodson III, The Richard Bernstein Collegiate Professor of Chemistry (U-M Chemistry)
Versatile organic optical materials are widely used, for example, in OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) TVs. These materials, which convert electricity to light and vice-versa, continue to improve, but questions remain concerning electron and energy transport processes. Understanding ultra-fast (femtosecond) and small-scale (nanometer) processes in these systems is crucial for improving performance in optical and electronic applications. In this presentation, Professor Goodson will describe the results of studies of light-matter interactions in organic materials using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy to investigate energy transport and its importance to electronic devices we rely on daily.
