Charge Transport in Organic Materials: From Single Molecules to Devices
Matthias Hettler, FZ Karlsruhe; Jens Pflaum, U Stuttgart and Christian Lennartz, BASF
Electronic transport phenomena in organic materials have received considerable attention during the last years due to the emerging field of Organic Electronics. Technical applications of organic thin film devices and the potential use of molecules in integrated electronic circuits have been successfully demonstrated. Despite many research activities studying the various aspects of charge transport in single molecules and molecular aggregates the fundamental conduction mechanisms as well as the effects limiting the electronic performance are still under discussion.
The goal of this summer school is to highlight the current state of investigations on the charge transport in organic materials and to provide an up-to-date overview on the key aspects of molecular electronics from individual molecules and single crystals to devices based on thin films. This school will present the research activities on the transport phenomena over the past decade from an experimental and theoretical point of view. The latest results in device preparation and application will be highlighted together with a critical discussion of future prospects, e.g. devices based on single molecules or organic photovoltaic cells.
The school targets advanced students, doctoral candidates, and post-docs in physics, chemistry and electrical engineering
