Light-Emitting Devices Based on Organic Materials

and Semiconductor Quantum Dots

 

Dr. Polina Anikeeva

Stanford University

 

 

About the Technical Topic:

 

This talk will discuss experimental and theoretical aspects of light-emitting devices (LEDs) based on organic semiconductors and colloidal quantum dots (QDs). This hybrid material system has several advantages against crystalline semiconductor technology; first, it is compatible with inexpensive fabrication methods such as solution processing and roll-to-roll deposition; second, hybrid devices can be fabricated on flexible plastic substrates and glass, avoiding expensive crystalline wafers; third, this technology is compatible with patterning methods, allowing multicolor light sources to be fabricated on the same substrate by simply changing the emissive colloidal QD layer.

 

I will cover the fabrication methods for QD-LEDs that have been extensively investigated as well as the basic physical processes governing the performance of QD-LEDs, which until recently remained unclear. This talk will introduce novel deposition methods, which allow us to fabricate QD-LEDs of controlled and tunable color by simply changing the emissive QD layer without altering the structure of organic charge transport layers. For example, we fabricate white light sources with tunable color temperature and color rendering close to that of sunlight, inaccessible by crystalline semiconductor based lighting or fluorescent sources.

 

About the Speaker:

 

Polina Anikeeva received her BS (honors) in Physics from St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University in 2003. She spent her senior year at the department of Physical Chemistry at ETH Zurich. After graduation Polina joined Victor KlimovÕs Softmatter Nanotechnology and Advanced Spectroscopy Team at Los Alamos National Lab where she worked on developing novel types of photovoltaic cells based on semiconductor quantum dots. In fall 2004 she enrolled in a PhD program in Materials Science at MIT where she worked under the supervision of Prof. Vladimir Bulovic. She graduated from MIT with a PhD in January 2009 with her thesis titled ÒPhysical Properties and Design of Light Emitting Devices and NanoparticlesÓ. Polina is currently a postdoctoral scholar in the Deisseroth Lab at Stanford.
