Laboratory for Hybrid Nanophotonics and Optoelectronics

• We have developed new methods of chemical synthesis of nanostructures from organic inorganic hybrid materials and management of their qualities.
• A new method has been developed for laser printing of nanoparticles for organic-inorganic hybrid materials.
• We have implemented nanoprinting lithography for organic-inorganic hybrid materials to create scalable metasurfaces and photon crystals.
• The Laboratory has suggested optically reconfigurable nanostructures based on halide perovskites.
• We have investigated nonlinear optical qualities of nanoparticles made of new organic-inorganic hybrid materials and nanostructures based on them.

Implemented results of research:

• Our researchers have demonstrated perovskite solar cells with characteristics enhanced by introduction of resonance nanoparticles.
• New highly effective light-emitting diodes based on perovskite-polymer nanocomposites have been created.
• We have developed perovskite devices that combine both functions of efficient solar cells and light-emitting diodes.

Education and career development:

We have assisted postgraduates working at the Laboratory in organizing trips to laboratories of research partners for professional training:

• Scientific internship in nanoprinting lithography for organic-inorganic hybrid materials at professor Anvar Zakhidov's laboratory (University of Texas at Dallas, USA).
• Scientific internship for training in synthesis and application of of organic-inorganic perovskites professor Aldo Di Carlo's laboratory (University of Rome «Tor Vergata», Italy).
• Scientific internship at the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology FTMC (Vilnius, Lithuania) to practice working with experimental equipment for time-resolved spectroscopy and obtaining new data concerning qualities of different organic-inorganic hybrid materials.

Organizational and structural changes:

The Laboratory for Hybrid Nanophotonics and Optoelectronics has been working in close collaboration with the Engineering Center of the ITMO University and conducts research using unique scientific installations of the International Research Center of Nanophotonics and Metamaterials, of the ITMO University.
