The field of Organic Electronics is traditionally associated with light emitting devices (OLEDs), photovoltaics (OPV) and field-effect transistors (OFETs). Indeed, these devices, in which the active layer is based on organic conductors and semiconductors, have reached technological maturity and products have reached the market place. Beyond the well-known successes and failures of conventional organic electronics, there are many emerging applications for which the flexibility and tunability of organic molecular materials offer unique opportunities. Likewise, scientific questions about e.g. the fundamental excitations in organic materials remain unanswered. In this seminar, we will look beyond the traditional topics of organic electronics and focus on open questions and emerging applications.
Organization:
Interested students should register by sending an email to Martijn Kemerink before the start of the semester.
The seminar is organized in the summer semester. Further information on dates, times and locations can be found in the LSF system.
Required knowledge:
The advanced seminar is intended for master students in physics. Required background knowledge is introductory solid-state physics. Having taken specific courses on organic electronics or advanced condensed matter is useful but not essential.
Possible topics:
For any further information please contact Martijn Kemerink.
