The Research Development Centre for Materials and Electronic and
Optoelectronic Devices (MDEO) was established in 2006 at the Faculty of
Physics of the University of Bucharest, centred on the first Laboratory of
Organic Materials and Electronic and Optoelectronic Devices, from our
country.
Today the Centre, with modern experimental facilities and a good expertise of the
research team, develops research activities in the fields of:
Physics of Semiconductors; Electrical and photoelectric properties of the organic
semiconductor thin films; Organic Photovoltaic Cells; Organic Field-Effect
Transistors; Organic-on-inorganic semiconductor diodes; Theory of carrier transport
mechanism and semiconductors wafers diagnostic techniques; Polycrystalline
semiconductors thin films from AII-BVI compounds; Effect of ionizing radiations on
the structural, electrical and optical properties of the semiconducting thin films;
Semiconducting oxides; Nanostructured materials; Simulation and Modeling of
different kind of semiconducting materials and electronic and optoelectronic devices.
Applied research is focused on the assessment of possible applications of new
generation of hybrid organic/inorganic photovoltaic cells as low power energy
sources and to increase the performances and life time of solar cells based on AII-BVI
thin films for space applications.

Polarisation curves for CdTe nanowires deposition. Sweep rate was 5 mV/s.
The peak at 500 mV corresponds to the potential where CdTe is deposited. The
shift towards more positive potential at the second and third sweep, is most
probably due to the fact that the deposition is further favorised by the presence in
the substrate of Te atoms.

Referring to the research in the field of organic photovoltaic cells, in the last 1520 years our team of research was involved in the study of the electrical and
photoelectrical properties of the single, double and three-layered photovoltaic
cells based on the organic thin layers. Using new materials and new design of
the structures, the power conversion efficiency was permanently increased. As
concerning the modeling and simulation of organic photovoltaics, for each type
of prepared and characterized PV structure the dark Current-Voltage
Characteristics were measured in a wide range of temperatures. In this way the
transport parameters of the charge carriers were determined and different
models to explain the involved charge carrier transport mechanisms were
developed. A special model to extract, with accuracy, the quality factor and
saturation current, removing the effect of series and shunt resistance was
developed. Also for each type of cell the complete characterization in fourth
quadrant (PV mode) has been done explaining the PV mechanism involved. An
extended review of the expertise of our group in the field of organic electronics
and optoelectronics, is given in the reference [2], in the next section.
The research team of the centre has participated in several national and
international projects in the field of organic electronics, including, EU
Framework projects and bilateral projects. The staff members have extensive
publications in area of organic electronics and optoelectronic devices acquiring
a big number of citations in ISI journals.
