Spins in Organic Semiconductors

本项目旨在了解自旋的量子力学性质在基于有机半导体的电子器件操作中的作用，这将有助于设计更好，更高效的器件。我们还将研究有机材料中的基本物理问题-所获得的知识可用于开发具有新的有用特性的有机电子器件。有机电子是一个不断发展的产业，这项研究将加强澳大利亚在其发展和商业化中的作用。提高有机发光器件的效率将减少澳大利亚的能源使用和温室气体排放，因为照明占我们能源使用的很大一部分。

This project aims to understand the role that the quantum mechanical property of spin plays in the operation of electronic devices based on organic semiconductors, which will contribute to the design of better, more efficient devices. We will also investigate fundamental physics questions in organic material - the knowledge gained may be used to develop organic electronic devices with new, useful properties. Organic electronics are a growing industry and this research will enhance Australia's role in their development and commercialization. Improving the efficiency of organic lighting emitting devices will reduce Australia's energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, as lighting represents a significant fraction of our energy usage.
