Physical Characterization of Molecular Materials: Magneto-structural properties (ac and dc susceptibilities, magnetization, ESR, Inelastic Neutron Scattering, single-crystal X-ray diffraction), Transport properties (single-crystal electrical conductivities, magnetoresistance).
Models In Molecular Magnetism: Exchange interactions in large magnetic clusters and low dimensional magnets, Energy levels and magnetic properties, Exchange interactions between orbitally degenerate centers, Double exchange and electron delocalization in Mixed Valence systems.
Molecular Electronics Devices: SPIN- OLEDs (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), SPIN Valves, OFETs (Organic Field Effect Transistors).
The Optoelectronic Molecular Devices Group focuses on the development of optoelectronic devices such as electroluminescent devices (organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) and photovoltaic devices for the lighting and signalling sectors, as well as in the solar energy sector. Using the same molecular semiconductors, biosensors are also being developed for the detection of human indicators.
