Nanostructured and Organic Optical and Electronic Materials

Vision

The NANOrOPT (ex-ECM) group is part of the Physics Department of the University of Antwerp. 

 We investigate a range of topics in condensed matter physics, such as high spin molecular compounds, point defects in high energy band materials, electro-optical and nonlinear optical molecules, materials for organic electronics including photovoltaic cells, carbon nanotubes and crystalline nanostructures. New instrumentation is available for CW and pulsed EPR in the X-band (9.5 GHz) and W-band (95 GHz), high-sensitivity fluorescence, Raman scattering, and pulsed laser experiments for time-resolved optical spectroscopy and nonlinear optics.
