Integrated self-assembled SWITCHable systems and materials

The objectives of this project are:

-Design and synthesis of a (macro)molecular toolbox including electroactive and responsive systems as well as semiconducting and metallic nanostructures.
-Generation of controlled interfaces of switches on (non)planar surfaces.
-Self-assembly of multicomponent systems into multifunctional architectures and materials.
-Multiscale structural, optical and electrical characterization of systems including scanning probe studies and time-resolved spectroscopy.
-Fabrication and characterization of switchable devices, i.e. transistors for "logics" and light-emitting devices for photonics, and related applications (optical illumination, optical filtering/landscaping, optical sensors, photovoltaics, etc.).
