2D Inorganic:Organic Hybrid Structures for IR Nonlinear Optics
Abstract
We propose to an integrated international research program aimed at multiscale modeling guideddesign and synthesis of a novel class of 2-D inorganic frameworks. Our approach will utilizemetal dichalcogenides (TMDs), perovskites and graphene nanosheets bridged covalently throughextended pi-electron organic linkers to produce hybrid systems with large third-ordernonlinearity in the short wavelength infrared (SWIR) spectral range (1-2 um) with fast responsetime. The objective is to produce high performance materials that can be used for all opticalswitching and intensity dependent optical output. The project objective will be achieved viaintegrating multiple length-scale (quantum to continuum) as well as time-scale (temporalresponse and excited state dynamics) modeling with experimental materials synthesis andcharacterization. By coupling modeling guided rational design with synthetic andcharacterization efforts we will create an interactive, real-time feedback loop that generates andvalidates fundamental design principles for producing programmable functional nanostructures.
