We are a group of physicists, chemists, materials scientists and electrical engineers interested in the fundamental charge, spin and thermoelectric physics of organic systems. Though our range is diverse, we have particular interest in novel organic semiconductors as well as hybrid organic-inorganic metals and semiconductors. The unique properties of these molecular materials presents fascinating physical phenomena that cannot be observed in their conventional inorganic counterparts. Moreover, it creates opportunities to improve the performance and efficiency of energy-conversion devices, storage technologies and low-power computing. With this in mind, our main thrust of research is toward thermoelectric waste-heat harvesting, spintronic devices and the design of field-effect transistors for large-area, flexible electronics.
Seven members of the Sirringhaus Lab attended the conference innoLAE (Innovations in Large-Area Electronics) over the previous two days. The event, hosted at Magdalene College, Cambridge , included dozens of talks from both academics and industry experts across a wide range of topics, from applications like biosensors and...
Our paper Observation of Anomalously Large Nernst Effects in Conducting Polymers has now been published in Nature Communications ! While the Nernst effect is well-documented in inorganic semiconductors and metals, this phenomenon is typically negligible in polymers with lower structural order and an inherently low mobility...
