Abstract:
Top scientist advises leading Nanotec Company
NANOIDENT AG, the leading manufacturer of organic
photodetectors, has appointed Univ. Prof. Mag. Dr. Niyazi Serdar Sariciftci to its Advisory
Board. With immediate effect, the globally renowned scientist supports NANOIDENT AG
with his unique scientific knowledge in the area of organic semiconductors, his experience
from international research projects and his contacts to outstanding scientists of various
disciplines.
NANOIDENT’s CEO Klaus G. Schroeter explained, "We welcome Prof. Sariciftci to
our Scientific Advisory Board. He is a visionary and leading scientist, who, together with the
discoverer of organic semiconductors, Nobel Laureate Prof. Alan Heeger, has laid the
foundations for a new semiconductor industry." Prof. Sariciftci added, "NANOIDENT’s
successes in developing the world’s first organic photodetectors reveal NANOIDENT’s
potential to significantly advance the development of the organic semiconductor industry."
Prof. Sariciftci is established as a leading scientist in the field of organic photophysics. From
1995 to 2000, he worked side by side with Nobel Laureate Prof. Alan Heeger, the discoverer
of organic semiconductors, at Santa Barbara, University of California. Prof. Sariciftci and
Prof. Heeger discovered the possibility of photo induced charge transfer in organic donoracceptor
systems, providing the basis for organic photodetectors and solar cells. In 2000,
Prof. Sariciftci, who is married to a woman from Carinthia, founded the Linz Institute for
Organic Solarcells LIOS, which today is the leader in the field of organic photophysics.
Together Prof. Sariciftci and NANOIDENT’s CTO Franz Padinger explored the fundamentals
of organic solar cells and are today considered the fathers of organic solar cells. Prof.
Sariciftci’s Institute has spawned numerous leading scientists, such as NANOIDENT’s CTO
Franz Padinger, Christoph Brabec, Director of the Polymer Research Department of the
company KONARKA Inc. or Vladimir Dyakonov, Director of the Bavarian Center for Applied
Energy Research (ZAE Bayern). The current research work of Prof. Sariciftci is focused on
organic field effect transistors (OFETs). Only recently, he achieved another breakthrough in
his scientific research activities presenting the world’s fastest OFET, more than 10 times
faster than all other existing OFETs.
