Properties of Organic/Inorganic Interfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
Hybrid materials made of organic and inorganic molecules have been used for millions of years in nature, as well as driving the modern technology age for the past few thousand years. The nature of the interactions that occur between the organic and inorganic layers determine the final properties that the hybrid material will have and are of great importance. The interface properties, occurring on the nanoscale, directly affect the overall properties of the composite material. In this paper I will review the recent work on the subject of organic and inorganic interfaces, with a focus on their properties. Additionally I will review current and future applications of hybrid materials that will be taking advantage of nanomaterial properties.

Abstract Organic–metal and organic–organic interfaces play crucial roles in charge injection in, and transport through, organic thin film devices. Their electronic structure, chemical properties and electrical behaviour must be fully characterized and understood if engineering and control of organic devices are to reach the levels attained for inorganic semiconductor devices. Recent fundamental...
