Symposium MD5-Fundamentals of Organic Semiconductors—Synthesis, Morphology, Devices and Theory

Organic semiconductors are promising materials to enable low-cost fabrication of large area, solution-processed devices for application in solar cells, displays, lighting, transistors, and other electronic devices. The ability to design wide-ranging materials has been the source of immense progress, but also requires in-depth understanding of fundamental organic semiconductor properties. This symposium will present current efforts made in addressing the grand challenges of organic electronics. Focus will be centered on advances in materials design, materials processing and self-assembly, process-structure-property relationships, experimental and computational studies of bulk and interfacial properties at various length and time scales, device fabrication, device degradation, device physics, charge carrier transport and exciton dynamics in organic semiconductors and blends thereof.
