This book was released on 2006-05-10 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have measured the optical properties of films of the organic semiconductors PTCDA and HBC, prepared by Organic Molecular Beam Expitaxy (OMBE), on different substrates by means of Differential Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS). The optical setup used [51] allows to characterize the samples in situ and during the film growth. This enables us to directly follow the thickness dependent optical properties of the organic films, starting from submonolayer coverage up to thicker films on the order of 20 monolayers (ML) film thickness. However, due to the different optical nature of the different substrates used, i.e., mica, glass, Au(111), and HOPG, the DRS signal can not directly be interpreted in terms of the absorption of the films. Rather, the optical constants n (index of refraction) and k (absorption index) of the organic films have to be calculated to be able to discuss the spectral absorption of the films. We have proposed a method by which the calculation of the optical constants of thin films on arbitrary substrates from just one spectral measurement (in our case the DRS) becomes possible. The results fulfill a priori a Kramers-Kronig consistency, characteristic for physically meaningful values of the optical constants, and no specific model is needed to express the spectral behavior of the optical constants. Still, the requirement that the absorption index has to approach zero sufficiently at the measurement intervals restricts the application of our method to a class of materials, which exhibit distinct and well-separated absorption bands, like e.g. organic semiconductors. By means of appropriate extrapolation procedures, the method is able to account for small non-zero values of the absorption index at the boundaries of the measurement interval. Although we exclusively discussed the application of our method to differential reflectance spectra, it is anticipated that it works for all other optical quantities likewise.

This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in the perspective of an experimental chemist, this book puts together some fundamentals from chemistry, solid state physics and quantum chemistry, to help with understanding and predicting the electronic and optical properties of organic semiconductors, both polymers and small molecules. The text is intended to assist graduate students and researchers in the field of organic electronics to use theory to design more efficient materials for organic electronic devices such as organic solar cells, light emitting diodes and field effect transistors. After addressing some basic topics in solid state physics, a comprehensive introduction to molecular orbitals and band theory leads to a description of computational methods based on Hartree-Fock and density functional theory (DFT), for predicting geometry conformations, frontier levels and energy band structures. Topological defects and transport and optical properties are then addressed, and one of the most commonly used transparent conducting polymers, PEDOT:PSS, is described in some detail as a case study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continued development of organic semiconductor materials relies on an understanding of the relationship between optoelectronic properties, molecular structure, and molecular interaction. Several detailed studies of electronic properties in functionalized polyacene materials are presented. A computational model which allows the extraction of charge generation and transport properties from experimental data is developed. Ultrafast charge generation is observed, and the dependence of transient photocurrent data on this charge generation is determined. Greater crystallinitity of the donor leads to more efficient ultrafast charge generation, improving device performance. Voltage and incident intensity dependence data is fit using a single parameter set, allowing for the testing of multiple theoretical models against each other. The effect of acceptor addition to the donor material is investigated. Different acceptors allow for the isolation of effects due to packing and electronic structure interactions with the donor. New sources for organic materials to test are important to the future of the field. One novel source for organic small molecules is the secretions of wood-eating fungi. Optical and electronic characterisation is performed on xylindein, a fungally-derived molecule, as an example of the interesting properties and challenges which this source of material present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have measured the optical properties of films of the organic semiconductors PTCDA (3,4:9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic dianhydride) and HBC (peri-hexabenzocoronene), prepared by Organic Molecular Beam Expitaxy (OMBE), on different substrates by means of Differential Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS). The optical setup enables us to directly follow the thickness dependent optical properties of the organic films, starting from submonolayer coverage up to thicker films on the order of 20 monolayers (ML) film thickness. Due to the different optical nature of the different substrates used, i.e., mica, glass, Au(111), and HOPG, the direct interpretation of the DRS signal is not feasible. Therefore, we have proposed a method by which the calculation of the optical constants n (index of refraction) and k (absorption index) of thin films on arbitrary substrates from just one spectral measurement (in our case the DRS) becomes possible. The results fulfill a priori a Kramers-Kronig consistency and no specific model is needed to express the spectral behavior of the optical constants. Based on our method, we have successfully calculated the optical constants, and therefore the absorption behavior, of films of different thickness of PTCDA on mica, glass, Au(111), and HOPG, as well as of HBC on mica, glass, and HOPG. Extrinsic effects due to island growth or the presence of a polarizable substrate (screening) have been accounted for. We have introduced a finite dipole model which considers the extended geometry and anisotropy of the organic molecules. The calculated absorption behavior is discussed in great detail in terms of spectral changes with varying film thickness, different growth modes, degree of ordering of the films, interactions with the substrates and oscillator strength. A direct observation of a monomer-dimer transition in solid films could be observed for the first time. Our results indicate an exciton delocalization over about 4 molecules for both molecules.
