The division consists of three research groups:
News
Metal-free light emitting device
February, 2010
Using a graphene electrode enables LECs (lamps) that don not contain metal. Collaboration between the Transport and Separations Group, Umeå University, and Rutgers University has been published in ACS Nano, titled Graphene and Mobile Ions: The Key to All-Plastic, Solution-Processed Light-Emitting Devices. A press release is also available in Swedish or in English.
Update
This news has spread internationally very quickly. See, for example, this write-up in The Economist. It is also the most downloaded article from ACS Nano in February.
Article in Organic Electronics on energy level alignment regimes at organic interfaces
January, 2010
A study of energy level alignment regimes at organic interfaces has been acknowledged to be among the top 10 cited in Organic Electronics.
Diploma project (examsarbete) available
November, 2009
We are looking for a student with a background in chemistry and/or physics for a project synthesizing and evaluating novel ion and electron transport materials. This is a collaboration with TU Wien in Vienna. Please contact Nate Robinson (natro@ifm.liu.se) for details.
Postdoctoral position available
August, 2009
The Transport and Separations Group announces a position for a post doc to help develop chemical and biological separation systems for laboratory and lab-on-a-chip applications. See the official announcement for details and application instructions. The application deadline is September 4, 2009.
Dynamic Organic p-n junctions in Nature Materials
June, 2009
A study of p-n junctions formed in light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) has been published in Nature Materials. We hope that the scanning Kelvin probe microscopy measurements provided in this context settle the long-running debate of how LECs function and open a new field of electronic devices based on p-n junctions formed in-situ.
A press release (in Swedish) can be found here.
Review in Advanced Materials on organic interfaces
June, 2009
The review has been acknowledged to be among the most downloaded recent papers from Advanced Materials.
April, 2009
Our invited review on Energy-Level Alignment at Organic/Metal and Organic/Organic Interfaces was published in Advanced Materials, Vol. 21 No. 14-15.
PhD Student and Postdoc positions open
March, 2009
The Transport and Separations group is has an opening for one PhD student and one Postdoc for work on microfluidic pumps and separation systems. The application deadline is May 4.
