This Project aims to develop new materials that control and modify light. The new organometallics from this Project are anticipated to display world record light intensity-dependent absorption and other phenomena. These new programmable molecules are expected to respond to environmental stimuli with precise spatial control. Anticipated outcomes of this Project include environmental sensors and a technology platform for targeted medical imaging and light-responsive therapies. This Project should provide significant benefits including possible commercialisation of the new materials, enhanced research capacity, training students and a postdoctoral fellow with unique skills, and the strengthening of research linkages with strategic partners.Read moreRead less
Ultrafast optical non-linearities in robust organometallic materials. This project aims to create organometallic complexes with ultrafast nonlinear optical responses. These robust molecules are intended to be used to prepare surface-supported nanostructures. The project will create materials with reversibly switchable nonlinear optical properties that can control or process incident light beams in photonics technologies. These new materials will have possible applications in future photonics tec ....Ultrafast optical non-linearities in robust organometallic materials. This project aims to create organometallic complexes with ultrafast nonlinear optical responses. These robust molecules are intended to be used to prepare surface-supported nanostructures. The project will create materials with reversibly switchable nonlinear optical properties that can control or process incident light beams in photonics technologies. These new materials will have possible applications in future photonics technologies, potentially creating highly-skilled jobs in Australia and growing Australia’s reputation as a leader in molecular materials science.Read moreRead less
