CRC 951/3: Active Control of Charge Transport and Electro-Optical Interface Properties in HIOS (SP B14)

The central objective of this project is to study and use monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) in combination with photochromic and solvatochromic molecules to realize novel opto-electronic functionalities and devices. For this purpose, we will study the mechanism relating dipole modulation in the switching molecules with transport modulation in the TMDC/molecule hybrid inorganic/organic system (HIOS), realize an integrated plasmonic and opto-electronic switching device emulating neuromorphic behaviour, and realize novel near infrared detectors.
