MOF-based electronic and opto-electronic devices

MOF-based electronic and opto-electronic devices.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of hybrid materials with unique optical and electronic properties arising from rational self-assembly of the organic linkers and metal ions/clusters, yielding myriads of possible structural motifs. The combination of order and chemical tunability, coupled with good environmental stability of MOFs, are prompting many research groups to explore the poss...

Opto-Electronic Devices with Nanoparticles and Their Assemblies

Nanotechnology is a fast growing field; engineering matters at the nano-meter scale. A key nanomaterial is nanoparticles (NPs). These sub-wavelength (< 100nm) particles provide tremendous possibilities due to their unique electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. Plethora of NPs with various chemical composition, size and shape has been synthesized. Clever designs of sub-wavelength struct...

Ultralow-capacitance opto-electronic devices for femtojoule/bit photonics

Future microprocessors will need an unprecedented many-core architecture providing chip-scale optical communication, and for on-chip-com networks in particular, this architecture should be fully integrated with transmitters, photoreceivers, and other functional nanophotonic devices with low energy consumption. One of the challenges with these opto-electronic devices is to realize a device capac...
