Project abstract:
 

In the last few decades, the continuous development of human society has led to exceptional scientific and technological accomplishments, but a vast number of classical materials and devices tend to reach physical limitations concerning their performances. The proposed NANOCEA project approaches two important directions: the high speed processing needed for integrated circuits and the miniaturization demands. The current state-of-the-art electronics implies transistors (the metal semiconductor field effect transistors MESFETs and high-electron-mobility transistors HEMTs) designed for microwave applications. Materials that exhibit ultrafast response to the incoming light signal in picosecond to nanosecond time scale are of current interest in optical sensors, optoelectronics and nonlinear optics due to their potential application in ultrafast optical switching and passive optical device applications. The projects aims to develop new organometallic compounds based on azo derivatives, ferrocenes and acridines that can be integrated in high speed optical switching devices. Hybrid materials synthesized by sol-gel method and thin films /pixels/ heterostructures processed by alternative lasers technologies for further device building and testing are the challenges of the NANOCEA project. The novelty of the project, that requires both theoretical and experimental future research, relies not only on the new organometallic based composite materials but also on the methods and technologies involved in acquiring the project objectives. The optical properties of the most promising materials will be investigated in greater depth in the research institutes and the applications of these lab synthesized materials lie in the optoelectronic sector. The innovative aspects and complexity of the project are consolidated by the highly complementary partnership between the research institutions and the SME unit involved in this project.
