Electron and energy transfer processes are fundamental to numerous biologica! processes. ln synthetic molecular and hybrid systems and devices, they are key to the functionality and efficiency of various devices. Advances in understanding and manipulating these processes continue to drive innovation
Students will study fundamental principles of light-matter interaction and apply classical and quantum mechanical models for quantitative estimates. Optical phenomena in glasses, organic/inorganic semiconductors, liquid crystals, quantum dots as well as device applications will be treated.
