Hybrid materials

The combination of organic and inorganic materials, for example in the form of adamantane-like cluster compounds or hybrid perovskite semiconductors, makes it possible to adjust the optical properties over a wide range by selectively varying the organic and inorganic components. The strong electron-phonon coupling in these systems sometimes leads to a strong localization of optical excitations in the form of excimers or polarons, which significantly influence the resulting properties.
