Title: Maximising dissymmetry and handling directionality in chiral materials
Presenter: Prof. Matthew J. Fuchter (Imperial College London)
Abstract: We have an ongoing interest in the development of conjugated chiral molecules which can emit and detect circularly-polarized light within thin film materials and in organic electronic devices. Using a range of chiral materials – helicenes, fullerenes and polymers – this talk will give an overview of our strategies to maximise the selectivity of such chiral-optical responses through molecular design, materials processing and device architecture.
