Magneto-Optical Studies on Organic-Magnetic Nanocomposites
Abstract
Traditional study on magnetic optical phenomenon are mostly focused on incorporation of magnetic structures in bulk semiconducting materials under high magnetic field. However, magnetic-optical properties at well-defined magnetic/semiconducting interface are rarely explored. Fundamental studies on the underlying mechanism of magneto-optical phenomenon generation through excited states are also highly demanded. This project is proposed to experimentally explore unique magneto-optical properties in excited states for newly developed organic magnetic nanocomposites, organic light emitting materials, up-conversion nanocrystals, and organic/ferromagnetic interface. The goal is to obtain insightful understanding of the coupling mechanisms between magnetic and optical properties in excited states, and develop new guidelines for designing next generation magneto-optical nanomaterials. This research effort presents a unique research area to generate superior magnetic optical properties for application to Air Force technologies. The US, Japan, China, France, Germany, Brazil and Korea, etc. have been investing in the areas of novel magnetic materials, organic magnetic nanocomposites synthesis, molecular spin physics, and magnetic structure-property characterizations in both ground and excited states. Clearly, organic-magnetic nanomaterials and multi-functional materials are expected to become a critical component in next-generation sensing, navigation, and renewable energy technologies.
