Unit: Department of Molecular Physics, Lodz University of Technology
Position name: PhD stipendee
We offer: a high level of scientific research, modern equipment, work in an international research group, cooperation with leading research centers in Poland and abroad, constant contact with a research supervisor/supervisor, the opportunity to obtain a scholarship for the entire period of doctoral studies.
Description of tasks: The winner of the competition will participate in the implementation of a scientific project titled: "The fourth generation of OLED emitters, how to adapt, optimize and control hyperfluorescence" (contract number: UMO-2022/45/B/ST5/03712) financed by the National Science Center in Krakow and conducted at the Department of Molecular Physics. The main tasks of the doctoral student will include: he/she will conduct electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical characterisation of synthesized compounds. Investigation of charge carriers involved during doping process. Person will analyze the investigated compounds by electrochemical methods to determine their oxidation and reduction potentials and assess the electrochemical stability of these organic compounds. In the next step he/she will apply spectroelectrochemical measurements in order to determine basic parameters such as: energy gap or changes in spectra during electrochemical doping. He/she will conduct complex in situ studies of the doping process of investigated systems using EPR, UV-Vis- NIR, Fluorescence, Time-resolved fluorescence and Raman coupled with electroanalytical techniques. He/she will characterize doping induced spin-bearing species as well as static and dynamic in-situ spectroelectrochemical paramagnetic properties of investigated systems. These studies will include qualitative and quantitative analyses of doping process parameters combining the results of electrochemical and spectroscopic studies. Phd stipendee will conduct the physicochemical spectroscopic analysis in order to elucidate the delayed fluorescence process. In the end PhD student will be able to form and characterize OLED devices.
