Third Party Funding: 3-year FWF Project | ||
Oliver T. Hofmann was granted a three-year stand-alone project by the Austrian Science Fund FWF. Within the project, entitled “Interaction Strength Tuning at Inorganic/Organic Interfaces”, a post-doc and a PhD student will be employed to study charge transfer at interfaces between organic molecules and coinage metals semiconductors. Such interfaces are of high technological relevance for organic electronics as well as for catalysis. Interestingly, semiconductor and metal substrates seem to induce very different charge-ordering phenomena. Using doping to make semiconductors gradually “more metallic”, and alloying to make coinage metals “less metallic”, the transition between the differently ordered phases will be studied using various computational methods, including density functional theory and post Hartree-Fock methods. | ||
