Funded Activity Summary

Advanced cluster materials for optical limiting applications. Materials with significant optical limiting properties are needed for optical device and personnel protection against accidental exposure and hostile threat from high-power lasers. Metal clusters (molecules with several metal atoms) are one of the most promising optical limiting materials known, but while their potential has been highlighted, the systematic studies needed to optimise their performance are lacking. This project will assess the optical limiting merit of carefully targeted cluster complexes, and afford structure/property relationships to guide materials development.
