Organic and Molecular Electronics promise to revolutionize the world of electronics with innovative low-cost, large-area devices for use in displays, photovoltaic cells, RF ID tags, sensors, and possibly bioelectronics. This symposium will provide a forum to stimulate discussion and exchange of ideas on fundamental aspects of the material physics and chemistry as well as the applications of organic and molecular semiconductor devices. Topics on basic studies such as materials design and synthesis, structure and properties, applications of molecular materials in electronics and optoelectronics, supramolecular systems, LB films and self-assembled monomolecular layers, fabrication and characterization of thin films and devices, interfacial phenomena are included. Contributed papers will be presented in both oral and poster sessions.
Topics include
- Molecular design, synthesis and basic properties
- Fundamental understanding of carrier generation / recombination / transport trapping
- Organic & Molecular devices: fabrication and characterization techniques, nanostructured devices, single molecule measurements, single electron devices
- Interfacial phenomena, organic-inorganic heterostructures
- Supramolecular systems, self-assembled (SAM) and LB films
- Applications of Organic & Molecular Electronic Devices: LED, FET, LET, memory devices, photovoltaics
- Organic & Molecular Photonics (Lasing, nonlinear optical and photorefractive materials etc.)
