Soft matter physics is a relatively new sub-field of solid-state physics. Materials such as liquid crystals, biomaterials, polymers and colloids demonstrate complex behavior when exposed to external stimuli but they also present several advantages. Unlike conventional hard matter, soft matter can be easily processed into various self-assembled nanostructures that exhibit strong iridescence or anti-reflective properties. Nature provides us with several soft matter photonic materials examples like bright colored butterfly wings, photonic eyes that can see in the dark or photosynthetic systems that transform sunlight into chemical energy. We will carefully study these natural systems and review several bio-inspired technologies based on nanostructured soft matter. In this course, we will focus on light manipulation in nanostructured materials as well as light harvesting or light generation in soft matter optoelectronic devices.

The final exam will consist in preparing a 10-15 min video presentation in which the students will summarize and review the contents of an academic paper related to solid-state soft matter photonics (subject to change).
A total score (a + b + c) over 60% is required to pass this course.
オフィスアワー:
授業相談(1,000文字以内)
/Office hours(up to 1,000 letters)
Your questions and comments can be useful to other students.
Therefore, the preferred method is to write them directly in the comments section in Google Classroom (visible to others).
Alternatively, you can send them via email to varun.vohra@uec.ac.jp (not visible to others).
Finally, if you need additional explanations or clarifications, you can send your request also via email and we will organize a face-to-face meeting in W8-717 or a Zoom meeting.
学生へのメッセージ(1,000文字以内)
/Message for students(up to 1,000 letters)
The lecture will be carried out in English but this should not scare you. The level of English is not one of the evaluation criteria for this class. I hope that this class will provide you with the opportunity to improve your skills in English while learning about fun science.
The lecture covers a broad range of exciting topics and you will be given the opportunity to learn about soft matter photonics from various points-of-view. In fact, the knowledge you will acquire is a blend of physical chemistry, optics, device engineering and materials science. I hope you will enjoy this lecture that links fundamental science with recent advanced technologies.
