Student Projects

Within the section Opto-electronic Materials there are always possibilities for student to do a bachelor or master research project. The research will generally involve the study of materials that are interesting for application in opto-electronic devices such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), transistors and solar cells. The materials are studied by state-of-the art techniques including femto second laser spectroscopy or pulse-radiolysis experiments using an electron accelerator.

Below is a list with some examples of such projects, but usually several other projects are available. When you are interested please contact Prof. Laurens Siebbeles or any of the other staff members in the section.

• Atomic layer deposition infilling of quantum-dot films
• Singlet Exciton Fission
• Photochemical Upconversion
• Synthesis and ultrafast spectroscopy of PbSe nanorods
• Electrochemical gating of highly conductive nanocrystal films for solar cells
• Computational study of self-organization in organic materials for electronic applications
• THz spectroscopy on GaAs
• THz spectroscopy on Nanorods
