Abstract:Organic electronics offer exciting new alternatives to traditional inorganic devices based on advantages such as lower cost, ease of manufacture and flexibility. Small molecule semiconductors such as pentacene and rubrene are the focus of intense research due to performance approaching that of inorganic semiconductors. Charge transfer in polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) relies on the degree of π-conjugation and overlap of the π-systems of neighbouring molecules in the solid state. Small changes in the intermol… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
