Control of Excitons

Understanding and controlling the four dimensions of an exciton: Energy, Lifetime, Position and Spin/Polarisation.

Theme 3

Excitonic Systems for Security, Lighting and Sensing

Designing and creating new materials with properties specifically defined for target applications, relevant to our Industry Partners – DSTG, RBA and CSIRO.

Case Studies

Luminescent Solar Concentrators

Generating renewable energy and achieving innovation in design, manufacturing and construction.

Self-Assembly for increased efficiency

Taking advantage of emerging low-cost, resource-efficient printing technology is crucial as we seek to solve pressing energy challenges with sustainable, renewable and affordable solutions.

Photoluminescent Chemical Sensors

Conventional silicon solar cells, which are constrained by their size, weight and cost, could one day become a thing of the past.

Next Generation Solar Cells

Manipulation, detection and the use of light through excitonic materials.
