Electronic Processes in Organic Semiconductors: An Introduction

Bol Partner

The first advanced textbook to focus on the fundamentals in a brief, coherent and comprehensive way. Based on one of the author's proven lecture course, it prepares students to understand the many multi-authored books available that discuss a particular aspect in more detail. Organic semiconductors have found applications in many areas such as OLEDs, mobile phone displays, lighting, photovoltaics and much more. The understanding of the underlying photophysics as well as the evolution of device technology has come to a mature stage and as such a book is required that provides a useful introduction in a brief, coherent and comprehensive way, with a focus on the fundamentals. Based on a successful and well-proven lecture course given by one of the authors for many years, this book is clearly structured into four chapters: • electronic structure of organic semiconductors,• charges and excited states in organic semiconductors,• electronic and optical properties of organic semiconductors, and• fundamentals of organic semiconductor devices Each chapter is complemented by boxes which explore a particular aspect in greater depth or briefly introduce a feature that may be familiar to one group of readers yet not to another group. Where figures show original spectra, they are redrawn to be presented uniformly on an energy scale in electron-volt throughout this book for ease of comparison. The first advanced textbook to provide a useful introduction in a brief, coherent and comprehensive way, with a focus on the fundamentals. After having read this book, students will be prepared to understand any of the many multi-authored books available in this field that discuss a particular aspect in more detail, and should also benefit from any of the textbooks in photochemistry or spectroscopy that concentrate on a particular mechanism. Based on a successful and well-proven lecture course given by one of the authors for many years, the book is clearly structured into four sections: electronic structure of organic semiconductors, charged and excited states in organic semiconductors, electronic and optical properties of organic semiconductors, and fundamentals of organic semiconductor devices.
