Objective
The BIMORE network focuses on research and development of novel nanoscale molecular opto-electronic devices for storage and processing of information. The network will take advantage of bio-inspired approaches such as photosynthetic charge and energy transfer. The goal of the initiative is to integrate interdisciplinary expertise including organic- and biochemical synthesis, spectroscopic, structural and electrical characterization of molecules to build and characterize devices in order to shape future information technologies.
The overall objective of the network is to exploit structural and unique photophysical properties of molecules, nanoscale structures and biological systems for development of efficient, nanosized electronic devices. Within the scope o f the initiative are energy or charge transport investigations through single molecules or small ensembles of molecules and proteins, which can either be switched by light, be redox active, or undergo a field induced conformational change. The ground and excited states of the molecules and proteins and the involved charge transfer processes will be in depth characterized in order to gain full understanding of the investigated systems.
This information is key to understanding the performance of the molecules and proteins integrated into devices and to optimise device performance. Our consortium consists of a global player with long standing European research tradition in the field of information technology, five universities and two national research institutes from eight different countries, out of which two are associated states. The network has a strong focus on interdisciplinary training in this novel field, thus closing an existing educational gap in the European Research Area. The development of complementary skills (presentation, management, technology transfer, IP protection), is implemented actively by a fixed board of experts.
