  • Modeling optical reflection and electric field intensity in organic semiconductor microcavities

    Creator:
    Munk, Rebecca
    Abstract:
    Organic semiconductors are a promising alternative to the traditional inorganic semiconductors, such as silicon. Organics are solution-processable, low-cost, sustainable, and have interesting optoelectronic properties. One such property is the formation of exciton-polaritons, quantum quasi-particles formed by an electron-hole pair in the semiconductor and a photon. This process can be induced...

  • The interaction of bulk heterojunction donor/acceptor blends with polaritonic state creation in organic crystalline films

    Creator:
    Center, Reid
    Abstract:
    We explore the interactions between charge transfer exciton states (CTEs) and an optical microcavity by testing the effects that cavity resonance has on the CTEs and if CTEs can be coupled with a photon to create quasiparticles known as polaritons. Exciton polaritonics is becoming a booming area of research mainly...

  • Optoelectronic Properties of a Novel Fungi-derived Pigment

    Creator:
    Wiesner, Cameron
    Abstract:
    In industry, there is considerable interest in finding sustainable, renewable materials for use in electronic devices. Pigments derived from spalting fungi are of particular interest due to their longevity in diverse environmental conditions. The focus of my project was to characterizethe properties of a novel, fungi-derived pigment, and to discover...

  • Photodimerization of Organic Semiconductors in the Strong Coupling Regime

    Creator:
    Puro, Richard
    Abstract:
    Organic semiconducting materials have emerged in the last few decades as viable alternatives to inorganics in broad applications from field effect transistors to LEDs to solar cells. Organics provide many benefits over inorganics such as flexibility, sustainability, and reduced cost. However, these materials are more susceptible to degradation in the...
