Hybrid resonant organic-inorganic nanostructures for optoelectronics

The majority of optoelectronic devices (such as LEDs, solar cells) are built on the basis of inorganic semiconductors. Over the last couple of decades a progress has been made in producing devices based on organic electronic materials, which, for many applications, may become less expensive. Advances have been reported on a variety of device types making them a real player in a commercial arena. The prospects of organic materials are however mostly limited in their scope to relatively low-performance areas. One of the reasons for this is, for instance, a low mobility of charge carriers in organic materials. A qualitatively different way can be used via exploiting resonant interactions in organic-inorganic hybrid structures. We will review our recent works regarding optoelectronic properties of different resonant hybrid organic-inorganic nanostructures consisting of inorganic and organic semiconductor and its application. Such structures are interesting from the point of view of basic science as well as for optoelectronics.
