In Dr. Jiang's Lab, we conduct basic studies of material properties, device physics and device engineering. Materials of interests include but not limited to, organic semiconductors (polymers, molecular crystals), semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots) and other novel nanostructural compounds. We fabricate and characterize nanostructure photonic and electronic devices (solar cells, light emitting diodes and thin film transistors), with the focus on both the study of fundamental physics and the applications to device engineering. Ongoing research projects include investigation of hybrid solar cell with organic polymers and semiconductor quantum dots, optical study of lead selenide nanoparticles synthesized by laser pyrolysis and microstructure organic solar cell arrays for on-chip application of nanoprecision resonator with SWNT for multi-agent sensing.

Research facilities include optical spectroscopic setup (cw pump and probe spectroscopy, photoluminescence quantum efficiency measurement and spectrophotometer), ns range transient transport setup ( Q-switched Nd:YLF laser, fast response photodiode detectors and high frequency oscilloscope),  test equipments (digital oscilloscopes, source measurements units, digital multimeters and function generators); Inert gas environment glove box system and organic solar cell and LED fabrication facilities; Solar cell characterization facilities; Low temperature apparatus (cryostat  <10K) and high vacuum thermal evaporator.

Related nanotechnology includes metrological tools such as AFM, SEM and TEM; thin film coating technology, photolithography and e-beam lithography and MEMS techniques. Cleanroom skills, high vacuum technique and cryogenics are also necessary for Dr. Jiang's research programs.
