Quantum dots for the next generation of light emitters
Research Topics
Techniques
QD Synthesis
Fully equipped state-of-the-art chemistry lab including Schlenk lines and gloveboxes.
In situ spectroscopy
Combined ms-resolved absorption and photoluminescent in situ set up for measuring QD reactions in UV-VIS-NIR (300-1700 nm)
Optical characterisation
Temperature dependent absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy (down to 4K), as well as Temperature dependent Photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy down to 70K)
Structural characterisation
Access to LMU’s Center for Nano Science (CeNS) for Transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction.
Ultrafast spectroscopy
Access to LMU’s chair for photonics and optoelectronics ultrafast spectroscopy set ups, including fs-resolved transient pump-probe setup (TAS, Newport), ps-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy (Streak, Hamamatsu) and a ns-resolved mirco-PL set up with a time-correlated single-photon counting unit (TCSPC, PicoQuant) all operable at 4K.
