Photoresponsive gold nanoparticles : towards multi-functional organic electronics devices

In the last three decades Organic Electronics emerged and established itself as an interdisciplinary field of science and as part of our daily life. Presently, the greatest scientific challenges in this field of research are two: the former relies on the improvement of devices efficiency which can be accomplished by using new materials, whereas the latter consist in the integration of multiple functionalities in a single device. To accomplish these goals one needs to develop a deep understanding on the fundamental physical-chemistry ruling the properties which are on the basis of organic electronics such as charge injection, charge transfer and transport. This PhD project reports the developing of efficient multicomponent electroactive self-assembled systems whose electro- and optical properties can be modulated, in devices, as a response to multiple external and independent stimuli. This goal has been achieved by engineering of the proper building blocks and the study of the the physico-chemical properties to be able to model all the mechanisms involved.
