Research in the Köhler group explores the fundamental science and applications of materials ranging from organic molecules and solids to nanostructured and hybrid systems. Current work of Professor Köhler focuses on common processes such as energy and charge transfer, self-assembly, spin transitions, nanoscale and interfacial electronic phenomena in organic semiconductors, and the application of these processes in devices

Prof Mulvaney is a materials chemist who focuses on the use of semiconductor nanocrystals as excitonic materials for solar energy conversion, sensors and security labelling. He is interested in exciton transport in nanocrystal systems and self-assembly of nanocrystals.

Research in the McNeill research group is focused on exploring the interface between the materials science and device physics of solution processes semiconductors including those based on organic and hybrid perovskite materials. The group has particular expertise in the characterisation of semiconductor thin films with synchrotron-based techniques including grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS), near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy, resonant soft X-ray scattering (R-SoXS) and resonant tender X-ray diffraction.
