Complex Materials and Devices

The division research focuses on innovative device concepts which are made possible by the specific properties of the active material(s) from which they are built.

LiU doctoral student to meet Nobel laureates

Tim Cornelissen, IFM, is one of the young researchers invited to this year’s Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in Germany. 580 undergraduates, doctoral students, and postdocs will have the opportunity to meet and discuss science with Nobel laureates.

Water creates traps in organic electronics

Poor-quality organic semiconductors can become high-quality when manufactured correctly. Researchers at Linköping University have shown that the motion of charges in organic electronic devices is dramatically slowed by minute amounts of water.

Ferroelectricity – an 80-year-old mystery solved

Only now in 2018 have researchers successfully demonstrated that hypothetical ‘particles’ that were proposed by Franz Preisach in 1935 actually exist. In an article published in Nature Communications, scientists show why ferroelectric materials act as they do.

Materials science – seeking new ways to reach people

“We’re not worried about getting the science right, but we must increase interest among students and find new ways to spread our results and ensure that they are used in practice”, said Igor Abrikosov, in the concluding discussion at AFM 2018.

The light comes from LECs

Researchers at Linköping University and Umeå University have succeeded in increasing the efficiency of light-emitting electrochemical cells so their luminance equals that of a panel of OLEDs, and their efficiency is on a par with a fluorescent lamp.

New material for digital memories of the future

Professor Martijn Kemerink of Linköping University has worked with colleagues in Spain and the Netherlands to develop the first material with conductivity properties that can be switched on and off using ferroelectric polarisation.

Organic thermoelectrics

Thermoelectrics from organic materials are a highly desirable alternative, due to their structural flexibility, ecological friendliness, ease of manufacturing and potential for low cost compared to inorganics.

Organic Ferroelectrics

Apart from being physically rich systems, ferroelectric materials are relevant for a wide variety of applications like data storage (e.g. FeRAM), actuation, transduction and energy harvesting.

Ratchets

We use the ratchet concept to convert long wavelength light and heat into electrical power.

Organic solar cells

Our interest is mainly in the fundamental processes involved in the generation of charge from excitons and the subsequent transport of these charges to the electrodes.

Doctoral studies in Applied Physics

Research in Applied Physics aims to use methods, models and approaches based in Physics on various disciplines, such as molecular physics, lab-on-a-chip, organic electronics, material optics, optical/chemical sensors and self-organising materials.
