| Abstract | Long-wavelength near-infrared light-emitting diodes (NIR LEDs) emitting beyond the 900 nm threshold play a pivotal role in diverseapplications such as night vision, biomedical imaging, sensing, and optical communications. Presently, NIR emitters predominantlyrely on III-V epitaxial hard inorganic semiconductors like GaAs and AlInGaAs. However, the intricate and demanding high-temperatureprocessing involved escalates their costs and curtails their seamless integration into multifunctional photonic platforms.Consequently, significant endeavors have been directed towards devising alternative soft NIR emitters that surmount thesechallenges. In recent developments, tin-halide perovskites (THPs) have emerged as highly promising candidates for NIR-LEDapplications. The emission range of THPs can be effortlessly fine-tuned from 680 nm to 1000 nm through facile compositionengineering. Moreover, the use of low-toxicity Sn-based perovskites aligns with the principles of the European Green Deal, whichseeks to reduce pollution and amplify safeguards for human life, animals, and plants. The project (MaPoTED) endeavors to propel thedevelopment of NIR-LEDs by pioneering novel strategies that amplify carrier injection and recombination efficiency. The dopingdensity will be manipulated by controlling the molecular additives, as well as the crystal grain growth. The outcomes of this projectwill contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of NIR emissive semiconductors, extending their significance to variousother communities, including solar cells, transistors, and photodetectors. This will be achieved by integrating deep knowledge ofmaterials science with expertise in photo-physics in the host (Optoelectronics Group, Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge).After training in this project, I will have an increased set of research and transferable skills and competencies, which is critical to enhancing my employability and career prospects | |
