Optical and Electronic Active Organic Materials and Molecular Electronic Devices

Metal–Organic Frameworks as Active Materials in Electronic Sensor Devices

In the past decade, advances in electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and MOF-based electronic devices have created new opportunities for the development of next-generation sensors. Here we review this rapidly-growing field, with a focus on the different types of device configurations that have allowed for the use of MOFs as active components of electronic sensor devices.

Molecular Organic Semiconductors for Electronic Devices

Upscaling Organic Electronic Devices

Conventional electronics based on silicon, germanium, or compounds of gallium require prohibitively expensive investments. A state-of-the-art microprocessor fabrication facility can cost up to $15 billion while using environmentally hazardous processes. In that context, the discovery of solution-processable conducting (and semiconducting) polymers stirred up expectations of ubiquitous electroni...

Electronic Processes at Organic-Organic Interfaces: Insight from Modeling and Implications for Opto-Electronic Devices

Electronic processes at organic:organic interfaces: Insight from modeling and implications for opto-electronic devices Interfacial effects play a key role in the electronic and optical processes taking place in opto-electronic devices. Here, we review recent modeling works dealing with the study of the local geometric and electronic structures at organic:organic interfaces and how such interfac...

Electronic and excitonic processes in light-emitting devices based on organic materials and colloidal quantum dots

We investigate the mechanism of operation of hybrid organic/colloidal quantum dot light emitting devices QD-LEDs . Novel quantum dot QD deposition methods allow us to change the location of an emissive QD monolayer within a QD-LED multilayer structure. We find that the quantum efficiency of devices improves by 50% upon imbedding QD monolayers into the hole transporting layer 10 nm away from the...
