Peter Puschnig, Dmitrii Nabok, Claudia Ambrosch-Draxl (auth.), Katharina Al-Shamery, Giles Horowitz, Helmut Sitter, Horst-Günter Rubahn (eds.)3540959297, 978-3-540-95929-8, 978-3-540-95930-4

Organic semiconductors are a central topic of advanced materials research. The book is aiming at bridging the gap between the development and production of devices and basic research on thin film characterisation using cutting-edge techniques in surface and interface science. Topics involve organic molecular-based sensors; interfaces in organic diodes and transistors; mobility in organic field effect transistors and space charge problems; integration of optoelectronic nanostructures; nonlinear optical properties of organic nanostructures; the wetting layer problem; how to get from functionalized molecules to nanoaggregates; optical, electrical and mechanical properties of organic nanofibers as well; as near field investigations of organic thin films.
