Title: Charge Transport in Organic Semiconductors

Speaker: Prof. Dmitrii F. Perepichka

Date: May 15, 2018

Time: 10:30-11:30

Venue: C302

Abstract:

This tutorial will present a brief history of emergence of organic conducting solids, starting from charge-transfer organic metals and superconductors and continuing with the current technological focus on semiconducting materials. The basics of electronic conductivity in organic materials will be discussed. The presentation is focus on the audience of graduate students with chemistry background.
