2. Organic semiconductors for molecular electronics and nanoelectronics

   The aim of the work is the experimental and theoretical study of properties of molecular semiconductors suitable for optical and electrical applications. The applicant will deal with characterization of physical and chemical properties of studied materials, such as generation and transport of charge carriers, conductivity and photoconductivity, optical absorption, photo- and electroluminescence. The effort will be made to reach reproducibility in preparation of molecular devices and propose the technology for their utilization in organic electronic. The work is a part of large-scale research project funded by EU.

3. Anisotropic film synthesis by plasma nanotechnology

   Controlled deposition of the functionally nanostructured thin films by low-temperature (nonisothermic) plasma is a new technological step for creative design and application of complex film structures in smart materials. The thesis is aimed at synthesis and characterization of anisotropic films of continuously or quasi-continuously varying physicochemical properties that are worthwhile as compatible interlayers between materials of distinct physical and chemical properties. Such anisotropic films have high application potential for passivation of organic devices, as dielectric barriers in semiconductor devices, as tribological coatings in aeronautical applications, or as functional interlayers in hybrid materials.

10. Study of optical and electronic properties of biopolymers and other biomaterilas

    The topic includes study of optical and electrical properties of biopolymers and other biomaterials. The research will be targeted to the characterization of the possibilities of their application in advanced optoelectronic devices such as sensors. Humic acids and their salts can serve as an example. They play a key role in the soil. With respect to their partly aromatic structure they generate a free radicals after irradiation by UV and VIS light. Other biomaterials and their composites will be studied, the properties will be modified also by nanoparticles.
