Lehrinhalte
Introduction into chemistry, physics, applications and industrial aspects of organic functional materials for electronics industry. The focus of the course is on small molecules and their supramolecular chemistry:
• Materials for liquid crystal displays (LCD): design, synthesis and structure-property relationships
• Basics of organic electronics: physics and structures of organic conductors, semiconductors and superconductors
• Materials for organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays and their function
• Organic semiconductors for printed field effect transistors (OFET)
• Organic photovoltaics (OPV) and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC)
• Basics of molecular nanoelectronics: physics, structures and methods
• Unimolecular wires, diodes, transistors, memory and circuits
