Our group studies how low-lying electronic energy levels, especially in conjugated systems affect opto-electronic performance. By analyzing the alignment of frontier orbitals like HOMO and LUMO, we can predict how molecules absorb and emit light, and how they conduct charge.
We also examine current-voltage (I-V) behavior in molecular junctions and thin films to evaluate their electrical performance. These measurements reveal charge transport properties, rectification effects, and injection barriers.
In addition, we explore how isotropic pressure affects the electronic band structure of various materials offering insights into flexible electronics and pressure-sensitive technologies.
