Charge transport in and chiro-optical properties of zone-cast films of chiral N-heteropolycycles (C06)

• Subject Area: Physical Chemistry of Solids and Surfaces, Material Characterisation
• Term: since 2017
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 281029004

Thin films of chiral N-heteropolycycles with measurable dissymmetry factors in absorption and emission of circularly polarized light will be created and characterized. Films that show high dissymmetry factors will be applied as chiral filters and as active materials for circularly polarized light selective phototransistors. Other chiral N-heteropolycycles will be used as chiral dopants or sensitizers for other molecular semiconductors. Aligned thin films will be employed to study potential chirality- and direction-dependent charge transport.
