CHE 56400 - Organic Electronic Materials And Devices


Credit Hours: 3.00.  This course introduces the synthesis, optoelectronic properties, transport physics, and device operation of organic and hybrid electronic materials and devices. This course will review how the molecular architecture of small molecule and polymer semiconductors can be tuned to alter the optoelectronic properties of the materials in solution and in the solid state. A number of relevant materials interactions will be covered, including: photoexcitation and recombination, intermolecular charge transport mechanisms, and energy transfer processes. Additionally, we will observe how these processes are relevant to applications such as organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices, and organic memory elements. Finally, a new type of organic-inorganic hybrid material called hybrid halide perovskite will be introduced.Credits: 3.00
