WC1.1 - CHARGE INJECTION IN ORGANIC TRANSISTORS AND ITS IMPACT ON THE VALIDITY OF THE EXTRACTED DEVICE PARAMETERS
Abstract
Abstract
The origin contact resistance in organic field-effect transistors will be discussed, along with the impact on device performance and accuracy in extraction of device parameters. A strategy for reducing contact resistance will be presented; it consists of creating high-workfunction domains at the surface of the injecting electrodes.
WC1.2 - SMALL-MOLECULE ORGANIC SEMICONDUCTOR DESIGN
Abstract
Abstract
By careful consideration of solid-state organization, crystallographic disorder, and major phonon modes, small-molecule semiconductors can be optimized to yield impressive charge transport properties. Similar optimization of solid-state order can also be applied to high-performance singlet fission materials for solar power harvesting.
WC1.3 - STRUCTURE AND MORPHOLOGY OF SEMICONDUCTING POLYMER THIN FILMS PREPARED BY SURFACE-INITIATED POLYMERIZATION
Abstract
Abstract
The ability to control nanoscale morphology and molecular organization in organic semiconducting polymer films is an important prerequisite for enhancing efficiency of organic thin-film devices. In this presentation, we will report on a novel “bottom-up” approach towards semiconducting polymer thin films based on surface-initiated polymerization.
WC1.4 - AN EFFECTIVE RATE EQUATION MODEL FOR ENERGY TRANSFER FROM RUTHENIUM TRISBIPYRIDINE TO ANTHRACENE
Abstract
Abstract
We employ the well-studied donor/acceptor system consisting of tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) and anthracene to validate a simple rate equation model for energy transfer and subsequent dimerization of the excited anthracene acceptor.
