SUPramolEculaR functional nanoscale archItectures for Organic electronics: a multi-site initial tRaining action


Welcome to the SUPERIOR Webpage


The SUPERIOR Network is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) funded by the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme FP7-PEOPLE-ITN-2008. The 4-year training and research network started the 1st of October of 2009 and will run until the 31st of September 2013


Openings: 6 PhD and 3 Post Doc positions



SUPERIOR aims at providing top-quality cross-disciplinary and supra-sectoral training to a pool of promising young researchers, in an area at the interface between Supramolecular Chemistry, Materials- and Nano-Science, Physics and Electrical Engineering. SUPERIOR is designed to generate new scientific and technological knowledge by combining supramolecularly-engineered nanostructured materials (SENMs), mostly based on organic semiconductors, with tailor-made interfaces to solid substrates and electrodes, for fabricating prototypes of optoelectronic devices. We are particularly interested in developing multiscale SENMs for transistors (FETs), in-plane diodes single-photon emitters, and especially solar cells (PVDs) and organic light-emitting diodes, OLEDs.


The specific training and research objectives are:

  1. Supramolecular synthetic chemistry of electrically/optically 1D and 2D (macro)molecules.
  2. Hierarchical self-organisation of multifunctional SENMs at surfaces. Multiscale SPMs studies of physico-chemical properties.
  3. Time-resolved photophysical studies of single-molecules and SENMs.
  4. Time-resolved spectroscopy of materials and devices.
  5. Modelling the geometric and electronic structures and the optical properties of SENMs.
  6. Advanced devices processing/(nano)fabrication.
  7. Formation of controlled interfaces of SENMs with substrate and electrodes.
  8. Devices I: FETs Measurement of charge mobility in stacks, also upon photodoping.
  9. Devices II: PVDs Addressing the charge collection problem.
  10. Devices III: Emissive devices Single photon emitters and OLEDs.
