Summary
For the world-wide scientific community, I will actively participate in the discussions with several top scientists among the host supervisor’s collaborators, via sharing my research updates and my future plans. The target scientists cover both national and international ones, including Prof. Olle Inganäs (a leading scientist in polymer-based solar cells), Prof. Arkady Yartsev (an expert in ultrafast laser technology), Prof. Richard Friend (a pioneer in halide perovskite materials), Prof. Wolfgang Tress (a top scientist in device physics of perovskite devices) and Prof. Jianpu Wang (a pioneer in highly efficient perovskite LEDs). Through presenting my results and ideas, I can get instant feedback from them. The form of discussion can be either individual meeting or joint group meeting. On one hand, possible collaborations regarding my research will be easily established, which can involve more top researchers into my project. On the other hand, presenting my results to these top scientists will benefit for the worldwide dissemination. In addition to the discussions, I will also actively participate in some international conferences at least twice a year, such as PSCO (International Conference on Perovskite Solar Cells and Optoelectronics, annual coference in the field of perovskite) and MRS (materials research society, joint meeting in the field of material science). My preliminary results will be shared in the form of talks or posters. As expected, at least two sucessful designs of lowering threshold towards perovskite electrically pumped light amplification will be organized into papers, which are supposed to submitted to high-impact journals such as Nature and Science family. This will not only help me to build international reputation and networks in academia, but also enhance the academic impact of the host organization in perovskite lasers. For the young students and public, the host university has traditional annual activities facing the public, such as Summer Week, Popular Science Week and Open Door Days. In the Summer Week, I will introduce perovskites and laser technologies to high-school students. I will also give lectures to the general public at the Popular Science Week and take part in the annual Open Door Days to impart basic knowledge of lasers to college students. In addition, I will also try to provide more people with the science and technology related knowledge by using public social media, such as Linked-In, Facebook and YouTube.I will file patents based on any patentable results prior to scientific publications. In addition, the advisors at LiU Innovation will give me supports. They will provide me with counselling free of charge in areas such as patent, start-up and financing. I will closely contact with the LiU innovation office to seek advice regarding potential commercialization of the results that originate from this project, and start a business whenever possible. In Sweden, universities own the intellectual property arises from Horizon 2020 projects by signing an agreement with the researcher. Therefore, intellectual property from this project will be owned by LiU.Scientific impacts: This project focuses on reducing lasing threshold of perovskite devices via transport layer engineering, which involves several novel designs, such as HC management and Rashba splitting tuning. These designs can revolutionize the field of perovskite lasers by providing new ideas to the realization of electrically pumped perovskite lasers. The impact of new device optimization strategies will go vastly beyond the field of perovskite lasers, and can be envisioned to be used for other perovskite optoelectronic applications, such as lightning and solar cells. Technological impacts: Low-cost solution-processed semiconductors provide new opportunities to significantly expand the applications of lasers. On one hand, low-cost and scalable deposition can meet increasing demand of using lasers in consumer electronics.
