The calls for applications to the Master’s and PhD programs at PPGFSC for the 2026-2 semester will be published soon. Applicants will be required to submit an acceptance letter from a faculty member accredited in the program and eligible to serve as an advisor. We recommend that prospective applicants consult the list of supervisors available at this link and contact potential advisors well in advance.

The call for scholarship allocation for 2026-2 is currently under review and will be published at a later date. We emphasize that students wishing to apply for scholarships — including those already enrolled as regular students (without a new enrollment process) — must apply through the admissions process, as the ranking in this process will be used as a criterion for scholarship allocation.

“How to make a TV using just blue organic light emitting diodes”*

Prof. Andrew P. Monkman, Department of Physics, University of Durham, UK

*Evento de presença obrigatória da disciplina seminários

Resumo:
AMOLED TV’s and computer screens are pretty becoming common place. The challenge for scientists and industry is now to make them cheaper, with very high production yields and high energy efficiency. Surprisingly, one way to do this is use only blue emitting pixels! In this seminar I will explain why this is and the problems it creates with designing appropriate materials and pixel architectures. I will then show how my research group have used dedicated ultrafast time resolved spectroscopy and OLED device characterization to get us closer to solving the problems so that this concept can become a reality.

O Programa de Pós-Graduação em Física convida para o colóquio:

“The Glass Transition and Delayed Luminescence in Columnar Mesophases”*
Dr. Harald Bock, Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal, CNRS & Univ. Bordeaux, France

*Evento de reposição da disciplina seminários

Resumo:
Columnar liquid crystals, made of stacks of aromatic disk-shaped molecules, are alignable viscous fluids that allow anisotropic migration of charges and of excited states. They may go through a glass transition, yielding an anisotropic solid with improved robustness. The proximity of parallel chromophores also favors radiative triplet-triplet recombination to give delayed fluorescence. I will discuss our recent findings in this field.
